POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. Communicate what’s happening
Depending on your little one’s age, they may not be able to express their thoughts in complex sentences just yet, but they understand a lot.
Let them know that the end is near. Tell them how proud you are of how they’ve grown, what they’ve learned, and what they can do. Explain that as children grow, they no longer need to breastfeed. Emphasize all the great things that they can do and how exciting it is that they’re growing up.
Of course, not all toddlers are ready for this kind of talk. If these conversations about the future seem to elicit a negative reaction or anxiety, it’s OK to hold off on these discussions. Instead, keep the focus on the positive and wait until they’re a little older and you’re a little closer to things winding down before you talk about stopping breastfeeding.
