Method 4: When starting to add complementary foods, slowly increase the amount and reduce the number of breastfeeding meals according to the baby's intake of other foods and beverages.

Method 5: Continue to comfort your baby and spend time with him/her. Do not reduce the close contact between parent and child by not breastfeeding.
