#asktheexpert Hi Doctor…I am trying to stop breast feeding to my baby she is 2 yrs old now. But she is very adamant and stubborn in this. Is there any medicine to stop weaning of my baby?

Question

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please apply neem oil or giloy juice to your nipples before feeding the baby. Also try to gradually wean the baby. Make your breasts less available for nursing. Stop wearing nursing clothes like nursing bras or nursing tops etc.  Shorten each nursing session before stopping it completely. Postpone breast feeding sessions. Substitute food and drinks in place of breast feeding.
Thanks and take care

Answer

first of all you will have to offer alternate milk to the child. along with breastfeeding you have to gradually start outside milk which can be either given directly or it can be mixed with food or milk shake or fruit shake.

at the night time you will have to to avoid sleeping with the child so that when the child doesn't see the mother the child will not ask for breastfeeding and if the child wakes up at that time someone else(father or relatives) can offer milk or any other food or water to the child. 
weaning is a gradual process and may take around one or two months and sometimesu up to six months in which you gradually decrease the breast milk and then stop it. 
if the child is not sucking, breast milk formation will decrease over time and when the child doesn't get milk on sucking the child will gradually stop taking and asking for breastfeeding .
