Bottle weaning

Infant Feeding Specialist Cynthia Epps reviews the best ways to begin weaning a baby off the breast or t he bottle. This typically can occur between their first to third year, and is related to a child’s increase of caloric load from their diet. As they begin to eat and snack more from sources other than a breast, you’ll want to start weaning. The key is to understand that you have to go slow and honor the emotional component of the breast and bottle. Allow the child to get used to the change without experiencing the anxiety of losing the breast, milk, and mother.
