ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist3 years agoA. dear mum, weight of 10.2 kg is a normal weight for 20 months old baby boy.
breastfeeding should be stopped gradually for it to be less stressful for you as well as baby.
Ensure that the child eats enough; increase number of meals. Increase interval between breastfeeds. Drop one feed every day per week. Taper over 2-3 mo.
Stop morning breastfeeds first, then afternoon feeds after 2 - 3 weeks. Avoid situations that remind the baby of the breast: other family members and father can help with feeding and putting child to sleep.
The nighttime feeding is usually the last to go.
