Hey ladies 👋 Our baby is 9 months old. We’re managing two daytime naps and a nighttime sleep. During daytime naps she only falls asleep while breastfeeding; after I detach her, she continues sleeping, but to extend the nap I end up breastfeeding again. Should I start weaning daytime feedings already? And how should I do it? For now I’m not stopping them; she’s currently teething—the top teeth are coming in.

Не обязательно срочно убирать дневные кормления — в 9 мес это нормально. Если хочешь разучить кормление как условие засыпания, — делай постепенно и по плану. Пошагово: 1. Оценка потребностей. Убедись, что ребенок сыт — предлагаешь полноценный прикорм между кормлениями (оборудуй 30–60 мин до сна). 2. Сокращай привязку. На следующую неделю сокращай время сосания перед сном (каждый день на 1–2 минуты). 3. Кормление до укладывания. Переноси кормление на 10–15 минут до укладывания: кормишь, потом укладываешь бодрого/сонного, но не спящего. Убирай грудь до появления глубокого сна. 4. Вводи замены. Вместо груди предлагай бутылочку/кружку/пустышку/любимую погремушку, укачивание, покачивание, поглаживание — что подходит ребенку. 5. Убирай по одному дневному кормлению. Сначала лишнее одно кормление днем (например второй сон) — доводи до самостоятельного засыпания, затем спустя 1–2 недели убирай второе. 6. Будь последовательна. Ожидай протест 3–7 дней при каждой смене; не возвращайся к старому режиму надолго. 7. Следи за весом и настроением. Если кормления резко влияют на набор веса или сон — верни часть и посоветуйся с педиатром. При прорезывании зубов: - давай охлаждаемые прорезыватели, прохладную влажную тряпочку; - при сильной боли — парацетамол/ибупрофен по дозировке педиатра; местные гели с бензокаином не рекомендую без врача. - в период боли возможны регресс и усиленное просыпание — снижай темп отучения. Короткий примерный график (ориентир): неделя 1 — сокращение времени сосания; неделя 2 — кормление до укладывания; неделя 3–4 — заменить одно дневное кормление; неделя 5–6 — второе убрать. Если нужно — напишу конкретный план под ваш режим (время дневных снов, кормлений и прикорма).

Breastfeeding is a sleep association.
Work on removing that association (there are many methods online).
If you’re delaying the change because of teething, believe me—the first teeth come in most easily.
Then the baby may start biting the nipple.
The baby needs soothing, not milk.
If you don’t already have one, consider a pacifier.

Tatyana The older son wouldn’t take any of the nine pacifier types. He didn’t bite the nipple even once 🤷️
It seems to me you are scaring the author unnecessarily.
If it is not hard for you to extend your baby’s sleep by breastfeeding and settle them that way, then why change anything?!

Tatyana I understand why this isn't an easy question for the author. If everything were clear-cut, she wouldn't be asking questions here. My daughter didn't take a pacifier either. But I got her used to one for about six months. I bought only the most expensive one — 550 rubles. Then I remember how we spent money on them when she started chewing on them 😂. Still, the pacifier really helped, because my daughter also sucked at the breast for comfort, not for food. Here you can't predict it: most of my friends' kids bite the pacifier nipple. There were hard weanings from breastfeeding, which, of course, isn't great. And it's understandable for moms — sparks in the eyes and sore nipples, and a baby who doesn't know how to calm down because they're not used to the breast from birth. It's a double-edged sword. I tried to wean my daughter onto a pacifier from the maternity ward, but she spat it out until about six to seven months. At around 1 year 10 months, she spat it out herself and never asked for it again.

Tatyana Which pacifier would be best to take?
We have a silicone one, but she doesn't take it very well.
We also have a latex one; she seems to take it, but she has been spitting it out since birth.

Tatyana Which pacifier would be best to use? We have a silicone one, but she doesn't take it very well. We also have a latex one; she seems to take that one okay. But she has been spitting it out since birth.
