7 mistakes that can lead to early weaning The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding until the sixth month of life. This means that the baby does not need any other type of food, neither teas, nor water nor juice until the sixth month of life. And what are the main factors that can hinder breastfeeding and lead to early weaning? 1- Not studying about breastfeeding. Thinking that breastfeeding is intuitive and that the baby is born knowing how to breastfeed. 2- Believing that feeling pain is normal. Although it is common, pain is not normal. If you are feeling pain when breastfeeding, it is a sign that something needs to be adjusted. 3- Listening to guesses 4- Use of artificial nipples - Pacifiers or bottles that can lead to nipple confusion and the baby starts to refuse the breast. 5- Using formula unnecessarily, without a doctor's guidance 6- Introducing solid foods early, before the sixth month of life 7- Thinking that when the mother goes back to work it is necessary to wean the baby Hi, I'm Mary, a mother of two! I decided to create this channel because I had a hard time as a first-time mother. I didn't look for information and had a lot of difficulties at the beginning, especially regarding breastfeeding. That's why I decided to study a lot about newborn care and specialized in breastfeeding, which is the part of motherhood that I can say I like most. Here on the channel, I bring a lot of information based on studies and also on my experience as a mother of two. I give tips on pregnancy, newborn care, breastfeeding, baby sleep, baby behavior, weaning and much more. My intention is to help you face this beginning of your journey as a mother, with more peace of mind. I hope the videos help you, from the bottom of my heart!!
