same problem with me my daughter is 15 months old

Some kids don't like taste of milk some don't tolerate it well even after 1.5 years. If u r comfortable breastfeeding than plz continue. Else speak with paed for milk replacement.

it will take 3-4 days..then baby will understand..u feed to baby properly like heavy dinner nd then milk or shake

Try not to stop abruptly. It is stressful for babies. Gradually reduce feeding by replacing one session with water and so on. Reduce the time baby breastfeeds. Give partial water n partial bm if baby dont settle. Gradually baby will wean off.

Not advised by my paediatrician. So it's not recommended

Talk to your gynaec and paed. Advised to take vaccination by both for me.

when the toddler is thirsty especially at night encourage drinking water.during day time give toddler sweetened water like juices.. cow milk.you can give boost or
any chocolate tasty beverages.

meanwhile toddler will love the foods other than breast milk.

when toddler cry or stubborn to get mommy's milk... change baby's mind by giving toys... showing cartoons... making funny sounds.

You can breastfeed baby. It's already 17 days. Make sure you wear mask while breastfeeding. Clean breast every time before feeding.
