The midwife, through a series of visits, identified the triggering factors, which were related to exhaustion, overload, accumulated stress, and an increase in night-time feedings. The professional intervention included education about the phenomenon, emotional validation, promotion of self-care, and sensory- and relationship-based coping strategies, along with adjustments to the tandem breastfeeding routine and a respectful weaning process for the older child. Follow-up showed significant improvements: reduced distress, decision-making aligned with maternal values, and recovery of a positive breastfeeding experience with the younger child. The gradual weaning was successfully completed without compromising the mother-child bond.
