	Weaning Your Child
		Weaning is the stage in your baby's life when he transitions from breast milk to other sources of nourishment.
		Whenever you decide to wean your baby, it's important to understand that weaning is a gradual process that calls for patience and understanding from both you and your child.
		Some children wean themselves earlier than the mother had intended for it to happen or the child may not be ready to be off the breast as soon as the mother is ready.

	LLLI: Weaning as a Natural Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Weaning was very simple for most wealthy women and calamitous for their children, who were simply taken from the wet nurse's home and returned to their family of birth.
		During the weaning process the composition of human milk adjusts to meet the needs of the growing child so that, although the volume is decreasing, an appropriate level of nutrients remains present and immunological protection is not compromised.
		Weaning is a personal decision made by the mother with the baby's and her own needs in mind.

	Natural Weaning at StorkNet's Breastfeeding Cubby
		Weaning is the process of replacing nursing at the breast with other means of nourishment.
		Some children will wean abruptly if they develop a preference for bottles, or if there is some separation from the mother for a few days (such as if she is ill or away on a trip).
		Usually, however, a sudden "weaning" is really a nursing strike and with persistence, mothers will find their nursling is back at the breast quite soon.

		While her book lists advantages of natural weaning, the decision to wean is based on the circumstances of the mother and baby and a cornucopia of other things, according to Bengson.
		When weaning happens over a period of a few weeks or months, the child is less likely to be distressed, and the mother is less likely to suffer from engorgement or sudden hormonal shifts.
		A mother who is practicing natural weaning views weaning as a developmental skill and lovingly guides her child as he learns the skills that replace nursing.

	Weaning by Anne Smith, IBCLC at StorkNet's Breastfeeding Cubby
		Webster's Dictionary defines weaning as "accustoming a young mammal to take food otherwise than by nursing." Although this event may be very cut and dried in the animal world, for humans the process of weaning is much more complicated, but only because we make it that way.
		When deciding to wean a toddler, it is important to remember that he received the benefits of breastfeeding for many months (far surpassing the average) and so you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about if you decide it is time to end your nursing relationship and move on to the next stage.
		Weaning an older baby doesn't have to be traumatic, although it may not be easy.

	Weaning Your Baby or Toddler
		With mother led weaning, the mom decides that it is time to wean, and sets up a time frame with which she feels comfortable.
		Another benefit to weaning gradually with mother led weaning is that if the baby does have a severe reaction to the substitute you offer, you have time to evaluate if weaning is really the best choice before you risk your milk supply.
		With this approach, mom realizes that weaning is a gradual process that begins with the introduction of solid foods, and she is more comfortable letting the baby help her set the pace of weaning.

		Weaning is a normal physiological response and a stressful time for both the bird and the one who feeds him.
		Roudybush states that, “Weaning appears not to be a learned process and occurs at a certain age which is not affected by external stimulation of hunger” (Roudybush, 1986).
		Weaning problems and difficulty are often rooted in a lack of understanding of normal avian development.

	Weaning Puppies Then Right Way
		Weaning is an important part of puppy care.
		Whether the puppies are being cared for by their canine mother or are being orphan raised, the method and timing of weaning can have lifelong effects on the babies.
		Weaning should progress slowly, to reduce the incidence of anxiety and mammary gland inflammation in the mother.

	kellymom.com :: Weaning: How does it happen?
		If you feel that you need to encourage weaning before your baby is truly ready, it is possible to gently and lovingly "help" your child along the way, while at the same time remaining as flexible and as respectful to his needs as possible.
		Be aware of any signs that the weaning process is going too quickly for your child and be ready to slow things down some if necessary.
		Weaning should occur as slowly as your situation permits to make it easier on both you and your child.

		Weaning is an exciting but stressful time in a baby birds life.
		If a baby takes longer than you feel it should to wean, or cries to be fed (when it's crop is fairly full), please have it checked for a yeast infection or other possible bacterial, fungal or health problem.
		The birds get the chance to wean at their own rate, you haven't had a nervous breakdown worrying about them, and it's fun to play with them during the process.

	WEANING PUPPIES
		As a general guideline, most breeders wean gradually onto solid foods over a period of about 3 weeks, beginning when the puppies are around 3 weeks of age.
		To use our Puppy Food at weaning, it should first be soaked with warm water and mixed with a fork to form a smooth porridge.
		As they consume more solid foods, and as long as they are healthy, you should increase the periods that your bitch spends away from her pups, so that by the time they are about 6 weeks of age she may be moved away from them completely.

	Weaning and Mothers' Feelings
		Weaning is an emotional topic for everyone concerned - mother, baby, father, and those closest to them.
		However, your weaned child may still wake at night and it will be more difficult for you because you no longer have a guaranteed way to put him back to sleep.
		Some mothers may feel guilty about wanting to wean, especially if their child isn't ready or if they had earlier thought they would wait until the child weaned on his own.

	QuakerParrots.com - Abundance Weaning
		The preferred method of weaning these days is something called "abundance weaning." It involves giving the baby LOTS of different kinds of interesting foods to play with, chew on and eventually eat, while continuing to hand feed formula until the BABY doesn't want it any more.
		I have seen Quakers wean anywhere from 10 weeks to 18 weeks, and have heard of Quakers who didn't wean until even later, but they are perfectly healthy and well-adjusted birds now.
		The kind of weaning that involves dropping feedings whether the bird wants the formula or not, thereby making it go hungry and "forcing" it to wean, is labeled "force weaning" by those who strongly disapprove of it.

		Some breast-feeding mothers delay weaning because they are not ready to give up the closeness that breast-feeding brings, while others are ready to wean or have responsibilities that make it necessary.
		Do not try to wean your child when the child (or the family) is under stress, such as when moving or starting a new day care program.

	The Weaning Process and its Problems
		In many cases, everything goes like clockwork; the youngsters come out of the nest at four weeks, the cock feeds them and teaches them how to feed themselves, the hen continues with tasks inside the nest box, and all the fancier has to do is to remove the chicks as they become self-sufficient..
		It was immediately removed from the cage, and after three days with the other youngsters, plus feeding with the syringe it was fully weaned.
		Weaning is an eventful stage of the breeding season, and similar to the harvest time for the farmer.

	Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation: The Evidence from Clinical Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The available clinical research evidence suggests that, for progressive weaning of the level of mechanical support, it may be best to choose modes other than synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation and it is unreasonable to be dogmatic about the use of other modes.
		Finally, implementation of respiratory therapist- or nurse-driven protocols may be useful for all phases of weaning, and clinicians should adopt daily assessment for a trial of unassisted breathing as a safe method to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation.
		However, weaning too quickly may result in cardiorespiratory instability, and premature extubation followed by reintubation is associated with higher mortality.

	kellymom.com :: Do babies under 12 months self-wean?
		This is not saying that a mother's choice to wean a baby this age is necessarily a bad choice for her family.
		A mother who wishes to wean her child at this point can certainly take advantage of baby's temporary disinterest in nursing to initiate mother-led weaning.
		Once mom knows that she has a choice in the matter, she can better make an informed decision of whether to wean or to seek the benefits of continued nursing.

	A Natural Age of Weaning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This interest stemmed from a reading of the cross-cultural literature on age at weaning, which shows that cultures have very different beliefs about when children should be weaned, from very early in the U.S. to very late in some places.
		It is meaningless, statistically, to speak of an average age of weaning worldwide, as so many children never nurse at all, or their mothers give up in the first few days, or at six weeks when they go back to work.
		A comparison of weaning age and sexual maturity in non-human primates suggests a weaning age of 6-7 for humans (about half-way to reproductive maturity).

		After hand feeding and fledging, the next stage in a parrot's life is the weaning stage, and this one is not only critical but it is also very dangerous.
		Force weaning entails discontinuing hand feeding when the chick is still begging for it, based on the belief that hunger will force the baby to start eating on its own -- hence the name.
		When macaws are force weaned, they generally get into patterns of obsessive food begging, often with repetitive wing-flicking and "gronking" (typical macaw begging sound) well into adulthood.

		Weaning is the first complete book on the topic from LLLI, though the organization has a number of shorter publications on the subject.
		This title is a diatribe listing every reason you should not wean your child and all the reasons you should feel like a terrible parent for wanting to.
		It even has the gall to suggest the desire to wean is simply a sign of other stress in one's life, a contention I find particularly condescending as an intelligent, concerned parent.

	GeoParent \| For Moms \| Breastfeeding: Life After Weaning - Ending the breastfeeding relationship
		If your periods started while you were still nursing, your sex drive may still increase at weaning, though this may be partly due to the decrease in tactile stimulation from your child.
		This may result from the hormonal changes at weaning, perhaps in combination with feelings of loss of the symbiotic mother-baby bond.
		If you have weaned before you were really ready, you may feel angry -- at yourself, for not being able to do what you feel should come naturally, and at other people, perhaps for encouraging you to breastfeed, for giving inconsistent advice or none at all, or for pressuring you to wean.
