POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 months agoA. To stop breastfeeding a 15-month-old child, gradual weaning is the most gentle and effective approach—for both mother and baby. Here's how to do it:
Drop one feeding at a time: Start by eliminating the feed your baby is least interested in (often the daytime feed), and replace it with a healthy snack or cow’s milk if your doctor approves.
Distract and divert: Engage your child in play or offer a favorite food, story, or activity when they ask to nurse.
Shorten feeding sessions: Reduce the amount of time your baby breastfeeds gradually, especially during night feeds.
Comfort in other ways: Your baby may nurse for comfort, so offer cuddles, back rubs, or lullabies as substitutes.
Be consistent and patient: Some crying and resistance are normal. Stay calm and comforting. Don't go back to breastfeeding once a feed is dropped.
Weaning can take a few weeks or more depending on your baby's attachment to breastfeeding. If you're having trouble or experiencing engorgement, let me know—I can help with those too.
