bad ear infection, his doctor told us to stop breastfeeding temporarily because of the medication he needed. It was sudden, and I worried about how he’d adjust. We started with formula in a bottle, but he refused it. Desperate, I tried a sippy cup, and to my surprise, he drank from it! For two weeks, we gave him formula and pureed foods while he recovered. When he was better, we tried breastfeeding again, but he wasn’t interested—he preferred the sippy cup. We decided to keep weaning, and within a month, he was fully on solids and formula. The health scare made weaning unexpected, but it taught me to be flexible. Sometimes, life’s surprises lead us to new routines that work even better.​Weaning a Premature Baby​My son was born 8 weeks early, so breastfeeding was always a challenge—he was too small to latch properly at first. We used a breast pump and fed him with a tube for months, then slowly transitioned to breastfeeding when he was stronger. By the time he was 10 months old (8 months adjusted age), his doctor said he was ready to wean. We took it slow, replacing one breastfeeding session with formula each week. Since he was used to bottles, the transition was smoother than I expected. But I missed the closeness of breastfeeding—so we added extra cuddle time during bottle feeds. Now, he’s a healthy 1-year-old, eating solids and drinking formula, and I’m proud of how far we’ve come. Weaning

The Role of Play in Adult Mental Health​

Play isn’t just for children; it’s essential for adult well-being. Engaging in playful activities—hobbies, games, creative pursuits—reduces stress, fosters creativity, and strengthens relationships.
