  2. Introduction • BF recommendations • Reasons to wean • How to wean • Easing transition • Introducing cow’s milk • Milk alternatives • Introducing foods that may cause allergies

  3. Breastfeeding: Weaning American Academy of Pediatrics recommends • First 6 months: breast milk exclusively (1) • 6 months to at least a year: combination of breast milk and solids (1) WIC does not suggest a mother should wean unless medically indicated. • Major surgery (2) • Certain Medication (2) • Radioactive compounds (2) • Infection on the breasts (2)

  4. Reasons Mothers want to Wean • Returning back to work or school • Separation • Breastfeeding problems • No reason Counseling • Ask them to explain reasons for weaning. • Encourage mothers there are ways to continue to BF. • Encourage client to contact health insurance provider to receive a free pump. • Provide suggestions.

  5. Returning back to work or school Encourage mother to continue to breastfeed as long as she is willing and able. • She can pump at work or school • Pump for 5-10 minutes every 3-4 hours • Store in lunch bag with ice pack • BF when she is with baby • Continue bonding • Caregiver • Provide with pumped or expressed milk • 2 weeks prior to returning to work (3): • Mother should learn how to express milk or pump her breast (3). • Introduce bottle to baby (3).

  6. Separation Mother is leaving the country, or state for longer than a few days. Mother can store milk to provide for time away. Mother can continue to express while she is away. • Maintain milk supply. • Prevent mastitis. Or wean completely.

  7. BF Problems • Provide referral to lactation consultant. • Encourage that BF problems can be resolved with help. • Latching • Insufficient milk supply • Pumping or expressing milk

  8. Weaning Completely • Wean slowly over time • Few weeks • Slowly cut out feedings • Keep the best feedings Cues from Child • Expresses indifference or crankiness when nursed(1). • May nurse in shorter sessions than they did before(1). • Eating 3 solid meals a day plus snacks in between (1). Engorgement will decrease as the demand for breast milk decreases, so does milk production (1).

  9. Easing the transition • Engage child in a fun play activity or an outing during usual nursing times (1). • Avoid sitting in usual nursing spots or wearing usual nursing clothes(1). • Delay weaning if your child is trying to adapt to some other change (1). • Introduce a bottle or cup during nursing times. • For an older child, try a healthy snack, offering a cup, or maybe even just a cuddle(1). • Changing daily routine so baby is other wise engaged during breastfeeding times(1). • Enlist partner's help to provide a distraction at a typical nursing time(1). • If child begins to pick up a comforting habit such as thumb sucking or becomes attached to a security blanket, don't discourage it (1).

  10. Cow’s Milk The AAP recommends whole milk for 1-year-olds(4). • 2-2 ½ cups of milk per day • Children this age need the higher fat content of whole milk to maintain normal weight gain and to help the body absorb vitamins A and D (4). • Nonfat milk provides too high a concentration of protein and minerals for children this age(4). • Once child turns 2, they can switch to reduced-fat or nonfat milk as long as they are growing well(4).

  11. Introducing Cow’s Milk • Try mixing milk with some breast milk or formula at first (4). • Serve the milk at room temperature (4). • Meeting the minimum requirement of 2 cups (4) • Cereal with milk • Yogurt • Cottage cheese • Pudding • Custard • Shakes for snacks • Make soup with milk rather than water • Add a milk-based sauce or gravy to casseroles
