Ideally both share this feeling or the baby is the main initiator. In that case the baby drinks less, causing the milk production to decrease slowly and continuously. If the mother decides it is time to stop breastfeeding, it is the gentlest way to shorten the breastfeeding meals step by step. The excess milk is absorbed by the body and, as a result of the sinking demand, the breast produces less. Sage or peppermint tea has a milk-reducing effect and can be drunk in addition.     <\/p>\n<p>In case of an uncomfortable tenderness in the breasts, soft massages while having a warm shower can bring relief. Cooling pads can help by reducing the blood supply and <strong>preventing an inflammation of the breast<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>The time of weaning the baby from the breast is again a time where advise and support is often welcome. Your midwife supports you in the process of stopping to breastfeed and offers you useful information about the next steps in feeding your baby. Planning a longer period of time for weaning the baby makes the shift less complicated. As a first step one meal, most likely around lunch time or in the afternoon, can be <strong>replaced by baby food<\/strong>. In many cases babies start with only 2-3 spoons and drink the rest of the meal at the breast until they get used to more solid food. This allows the baby to slowly adapt to this totally new form of eating. Often breastfeeding is connected with all kinds of rituals. If this is the case, it can help if the partner takes a greater role during the transition to new rituals.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08a510d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"08a510d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2f66a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f2f66a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">New routines, new vocabulary: this is what the following expressions mean\u2026<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a19252 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0a19252\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb246fe e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cb246fe\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33fbcbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"33fbcbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Baby\u2019s hunger cues<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdfefc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdfefc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u2026 they indicate that the baby wants to eat now.
