Folk tips helping wean baby effectively
In reality, there isn’t any remedy or tip
for weaning that brings effect for all of the mothers. However, women apply
some folk tips successfully:
Isolate
babies with their mothers
Do not let babies sleep with their mothers
or give them to your relatives and ask them to take care of babies in some
days.
Use stick
to apply to nipple
If babies ask nipple, mothers will say “My
nipple is painful, it bleeds”. Babies will love their mothers and don’t require
to be sucked. Mothers will continue this thing and they are determined not to let
babies be sucked. As a result, mothers can suck.
Tide
untidy hair or stick black sticking-plaster on nipple
Tide/stick untidy hair or black
sticking-plaster on nipple with form of cross. When babies want nipple, mothers
will say: “My nipple is painful, so I must dress it. Do you love me? Some
babies love mothers, nod and turn away.
Apply
bitter-melon/medicated oil/cloxit on nipple
When babies suck, they will feel that it is
peppery, bitter and, as a result, they won’t require any more. Applying a
little of normal antibiotic doesn’t bring bad effects for babies. Mothers
shouldn’t use chili to apply because it can make baby’s mouth burned.
Moreover, some mothers boil mulberry leaves
to take water and drink. This thing can help reduce excreting milk. Moreover,
mothers can eat garlic, pepper… These smells will make babies feel uncomfortable
and they will give up habit of sucking.
Help milk secrete outside without sucking baby
Many mothers have high fever because they
don’t give breast anymore, so their breasts are full of milk. To reduce this
state, mothers should use clean and wet towel to massage around breasts to
reduce pain.
Some mothers feel painful when they wean
and they try to milk and eliminate. As a result, it’s difficult for secreting
milk naturally. Therefore, medical experts advise mothers not to squeeze milk.
In addition, they shouldn’t take medicine to destroy milk because it can cause
side effect (losing milk beam, affect bringing up baby in the next time).
In the contrary case, when women’s breasts are
full of milk, they don’t pay attention and don’t touch on it. This thing isn’t
correct. It can make milk stagnant in system of conduit. It will cause painful
feeling because breasts are inflamed and milk beam is also inflamed. In more
serious case, it can cause abscess for breasts.
To help milk escape outside, mothers will
take a cup/vase whose mouth is larger than baby’s nipple of milk bottle. Its
height is about 15cm. Mothers will make cup hot and have a lot of steam and
after that mothers will lay it on breast. Mother’s nipple will be absorbed with
1/3 in cup. As a result, milk will flow out and mothers will feel light.
Mothers will do that twice and milk will be out of breasts. It has effect when
cup is hot and has a lot of steam.
