How on earth do I wean my baby/child?! - with lactation consultant, Susie Prout
In our 149th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Susie Prout. Susan is an international lactation consultant as well as a registered midwife and nurse, and we chat to her all about how to wean our bubs – both from the breast and the bottle! Tips if you’re wanting to wean but your bub will just not take the bottle. If a baby’s had a dummy, are they more likely to take a bottle? When is it realistic to think a child can night wean and some tips on this. Is there an optimal time to consider weaning our bubs? How can we minimise the guilt when we’re completely touched out but bub still wants to feed on the boob? Is there anything we can do in the lead up to weaning to minimise post-weaning anxiety and depression? Practical tips for women who would like to wean an older child? If our bub is over 12 months, is it necessary to replace a feed with a bottle? Let’s talk about bottle weaning!!! If we’ve recently weaned our little one and we have another one on the way, do we need to prep our child that we are going to be breastfeeding another baby? And SO MUCH MORE!
