hi , weaning from breastfeeding needs time and patience so that it is easy for both mother and baby.

skip one feed at a time. offer something else to eat or drink.

weaning from night feed is especially tough so avoid habit of feeding to sleep.

gradually baby will also get accustomed to solids.

. do it gradually. allow child to sleep with daddy or offer something else when child wants breast milk.

Accepted Answer

hi
please check health issues like nutritional deficiency, worm infection, dehydration, teething, stomach problem like colic, indigestion or constipation etc.
keep offering different dishes with different taste and different texture.
make food presentation attractive
for example
use carrots beetroot palak etc to make your child food more colorful.
it will help to encourage your child to take interest in food.
try to make your child sit to take meal with whole family because children learn more from imitating their parents
but please don't force feed or overfeed your child
