Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years agoA. Be patient and persevere. It is normal to face resistance from the child. But if the child persists, then he or she may not be ready yet. The best time to wean is when both you and your child are ready. Do not rush and take your time. It works differently for every mother child duo. Be mindful of your child's needs and also of how you feel, and take it slow. Gradually increase day time feeds. Observe the quantity that the baby drinks during the night and try to add a few ml of extra milk during the morning and evening feed just to keep the baby full. Observe the time at which the baby wakes up crying for a feed. Wake yourself and the baby up half an hour before the feeding time and feed the baby before he or she cries for milk. Doing this over time breaks the mental map that the baby has between crying and feeding. Feeding in evening, few hours before dinner can be very helpful in creating a feeling of fullness. This reduces the chances of getting up repeatedly in the night because of hunger.
