A. The decision to stop breastfeeding is a personal one and depends on your and your child's needs. At 19 months, many children are still benefiting from the emotional comfort and nutritional benefits that breastfeeding provides. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breastfeeding for at least two years, or longer if both mother and child desire it. However, if you feel it is time to transition away from breastfeeding, you can gradually reduce the number of feedings and replace them with solid foods and other milk options like formula or cow's milk. It's important to ensure that your child is getting the right balance of nutrients from their diet if you decide to stop breastfeeding. The transition should be done gradually to make it easier for your child, both emotionally and physically. If you're unsure about when or how to stop, consulting with a pediatrician can provide you with guidance based on your child's individual health and development.
