離乳的前兆

昨晚睡前小沙子居然沒有跟我討奶喝就睡了
最近他已經沒有夜奶了
但還有睡前奶和起床奶
起床乃是只要我比他早起他就會忘記要
所以我打算最後戒這個
昨晚他跟我講話
唧哩咕嚕的講一堆然後就自己睡著了
我盯著他看了很久
觀察他會不會醒來跟我要奶
結果
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
尊素太令人高興了
最近小沙子真的對奶已經沒那麼執著了
他長大了
感謝主讓我堅持不要用激烈的方法斷奶
謝謝朋友們的鼓勵和禱告
尤其是Aiwen!
真的非常感謝你!

  • Congratulations!

    Every child will wean themselves, when it's time! Austin stopped nursing at 3. But since I made nursing a reward for napping, he still nursed before naps. After a few months, he stopped napping... so he stopped nursing, gradually! First, it was nap every other day, then, twice a week, then once a week, then bye-bye naps!

    Now, at 4, even though he still co-sleep with me in the big bed, he doesn't need me to fall asleep anymore! When he's tired, he just crawl into bed and sleeps on his own. Many times when I can't find him, he's already asleep in bed! It's just one more thing which I believe in... no need to rush him off into his own bed. They will eventually progress at their own pace!

    I so much miss nursing and our bedtime chats!

  • I'd say every child is different. Some children (I know of a couple) do need a little coaxing to stop.

    And sometimes the mom decides to stop - a friend (who now has six children) weaned her daughter at 18 months after she bit down really hard (hard enough to bleed).

    Some women, such as my sister, do not find nursing hard. But in any case it's worth it - it really does help mother/child bonding (I've seen that with my wife), baby's health, and intelligence.

  • I know there are moms still nursing their 5 yr old kids! La Leche League supports nursing moms and let moms know that it's actually ok to nurse your children until 6 (if you have the time and patience)! When they're at that age, it's much easier to stop because of peer pressure and they could already understand reasoning!

    "The benifits of nursing pass three...

    ...By looking at the weaning patterns in nonhuman primates, Dettwyler identifies several ways to predict when human children would cease to breastfeed if cultural beliefs and expectations were set aside. Citing data from a variety of studies, including one that surveyed 135 primate species, while also pointing out that we share more than 98 percent of our genetic material with gorillas and chimpanzees, Dettwyler correlates weaning with the following variables: birth weight, progress toward attaining adult weight, average adult body size, gestation length, and the timing of the eruption of the first molars. Using each of these bases for analysis, Dettwyler shows an array of possible ages for weaning in humans, depending on the population, the size of the adults, the rate of growth in each population, and other factors. For example, one primatologist correlated the age of weaning with the eruption of the first molars in 21 different primate species. If human primates were to follow that blueprint, our babies would stop nursing between five and a half and six years of age."

    But like one expert said "They will decide when they want to stop." "They will wean when they're ready."
