Stopping breastfeeding and switching to formula: how to wean baby gently?

The different taste of infant milk, the break in the bond between breast and baby, the change in eating habits... How to wean a baby gently?


  • Avoid immediate weaning: several weeks are necessary, from 15 days to one month.
  • Gradually reduce the number of feeds, starting with the afternoon feeds, then the morning feeds.
  • You can express your milk and give it to your baby in a bottle to get her used to the bottle nipple.
  • For the bottle, choose an age-appropriate nipple, and don't hesitate to try several brands to find the one that will suit your baby best.
  • It's a good idea to warm the milk slightly so that it's closer to the warmth of breast milk.
  • Ask your loved ones to give your baby a bottle: this will allow your baby to adapt to the break in the physical bond of breastfeeding.

Hey new moms, I want to ask some questions regarding 4 days new born baby. 1. My baby girl is taking breast feed and formula both. Doctor said give her 15-20 ml of formula milk only, that is enough for her. But she is drinking breast milk around 25-30 ml at a time. Is it good for her. Or this is a matter of concern please suggest. 2. She is drunk and pooping and then drinking and then pooping. 😥 ,What should I do?

Do you warm up your formula milk? My mom said it could help prevent gas but I’m not sure… I don’t only because the hospital fed my newborn baby formula at room temp and he seemed to be fine and I’ve heard it doesn’t really matter.. what do you think??
