A. Start weaning gradually. Stop feeding on demand. Bring in a schedule such that it doesnt interfere with the solid intake. At all other times even if the child demands dont give up and feed. stick to the schedule. Then aftrr few days, slowly cut one feed at a time, take the weaning process step up step until u feed only in the nights. Then wean the night feeding.
