khyati patelMom of a 5 yr 9 m old boy3 years agoA. You can do that gradually it is not a one day process nor it can happen overnight, give your baby cow milk initially adding some water to it so it becomes easy for the baby to digest, start that milk first so that it acts as a substitute to your breast milk and then gradually when you baby is used to it he will gradually stop breastfeeding

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. first of all you will have to offer alternate milk to the child. along with breastfeeding you have to gradually start outside milk which can be either given directly or it can be mixed with food or milk shake or fruit shake.
at the night time you will have to to avoid sleeping with the child so that when the child doesn't see the mother the child will not ask for breastfeeding and if the child wakes up at that time someone else(father or relatives) can offer milk or any other food or water to the child.
weaning is a gradual process and may take around one or two months and sometimes up to six months in which you gradually decrease the breast milk and then stop it.
if the child is not sucking, breast milk formation will decrease over time and when the child doesn't get milk on sucking the child will gradually stop taking and asking for breastfeeding
it should be always gradual process for the child

You You need to make sure that your child is accepting any other supplement to milk before you go ahead with quitting breastfeeding one is your child get used to any other milk at least one time in the day gradually you can increase the amount to 2 times in a day and this week would be easier for you to quit breastfeeding
