Hello our baby is now 1 year old. He is in fine health, eats solid food, has 6 teeth and plays in a whole day. But we have a problem when it is his sleeping time. He can not sleep without breast feeding. He needs in compulsorily. It is getting difficult now, as milk is getting reduced. Plus because of teething, he bites many a times. Wha is the solution on this? How can we make him sleep without breast feed? Is there any other way? If we don t feed him, he keeps on crying, without stopping. He feels drowsy, his eyes feel sleepy, but he does not sleep.
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor !  Most of the moms face this problem. Best solution is to hand him over to his father to make him sleep or someone else. Be very firm and tell him that you can not feed him anymore. That he is big enough. Don't think he doesn't understand. Kids are extremely intuitive and understand almost everything you say. Apply bitter gourd juice on nipples and keep putting some more if he persists suckling. I feel first method is best. He may cry for a few days, may through tantrums, but overlook it. Don't give in to his tantrums. Otherwise, no one will be able to help you. Take care
