"Using the breast as a pacifier AFTER feeding by alternative method helps
maintain the baby's orientation to the breast.  This is where you want him/her to
end up at the final stage of the
intervention. I like to give the breast when the baby is full (or at least
not too frantically hungry) so that the baby doesn't always associate the
breast with frustration and hunger."
Dear Friends:
    This is an excellent suggestion that works in practice! Mothers have been
surprised at the suggestion, and amazed that sometimes the baby will regain
interest. Moms that have weaned and still wish some deep intimacy with their
babies can also use this technique.
    warmly,
