The most comfortable way both for mother and baby to stop breastfeeng is to do this slowly and gradually, dropping a breast feeding or two each week until eventually you have replaced all feedings with the bottle. When you skip a feeding, your baby will be surprised by the appearance of the bottle, and your body will also be surprised by the sudden lack of demand. Your breasts may be heavy and sore, filled with milk. If the engorgement bothers you, you can pump them and store the breast milk for a bottle feeding. Don’t pump them completely dry, though, or you’ll be signalling your body for a refill. Only express enough milk to relieve the pressure, and you’ll be telling your body that you don’t need as much milk to be produced. Over time, lactation will stop naturally.

Positive practice involves working with the child in an intensive practice of what he or she should have done – the positive alternative – instead of having an accident. It requires the child to practice going to the toilet 10 times immediately after an accident, every time one occurs. Because positive practice is really boring and takes a lot of time and effort, children become motivated fairly quickly to avoid it. Of course, the best way for them to do that is to poop or pee in the toilet instead of their clothing. While your child will be in charge of much of this activity, you, as a parent, can make positive practice work by remembering several important points: (more…)

It can be difficult to tell what exactly causes Baby to cry, but fortunately, there are ways of figuring it out. By using some tips and tricks, you may be able to comfort your child by curing what ails them.

You may have heard that tending to your newborn immediately after they start crying every time can spoil them. Most child experts and researchers note that there is no validity to this theory.

At this age babies will also invent texts that have to do with their body parts so that you signal to them, so teach your baby a happy and fun intonation with mimics, clapping and gestures.
