POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. Weaning a 1.6-year-old from breastfeeding can be a gradual process that requires patience and sensitivity. The key is to slowly replace breastfeeding sessions with other forms of nourishment and comfort, making the transition as smooth as possible for both you and your child. Start by gradually reducing the number of breastfeeding sessions each day, replacing them with a healthy snack or meal. Offer a cup or bottle with milk or water during times they would normally breastfeed. It’s helpful to distract them with a favorite activity, toy, or cuddle to ease the desire for nursing. You can also shorten the duration of each breastfeeding session over time. During this period, continue offering lots of physical affection and reassurance to provide comfort and emotional support. It’s essential to be consistent but also flexible, as some days might be harder than others. If your child protests or is upset, try to understand the underlying reason—whether it's hunger, thirst, or the need for comfort—and address it with an alternative, like a snack or extra attention. It can be beneficial to do this weaning process in stages, starting with eliminating one feeding at a time, and ensuring that your child gets plenty of attention and bonding in other ways.
