POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Drop one breastfeed at a time, and wait a few days before you drop the next one. This will also be easier on your breasts, which might get engorged if you stop too suddenly.
Consider dropping daytime breastfeeds first, then gradually drop any bedtime or night-time feeds. These are probably the ones that give your child the most comfort.
Encourage shorter feeds if your child likes to fall asleep at the breast. You could tell your child before breastfeeding that you’ll do something fun together afterwards. This might encourage your child to finish their feed more quickly.
If your child wakes in the night for a breastfeed, let your partner or someone else settle your child with a cuddle or a cup of water.
Occasionally replace a breastfeed with a ‘grown-up’ alternative. Your child might be excited about having a special but healthy drink like a babyccino at a café when they’d normally be at home having a breastfeed.
