Q.

hello, my baby is now 10 months complete. can i completely stop breastfeeding? he has started with teeth eruption now and can hurt me while feeding. also if i try to stop breastfeeding later than this, then i think that would be more difficult because his understanding would be even more then and he would not allow me to do so. also, he has completely disturbed sleep pattern at night because of the habit of breastfeeding in the middle of the night. so i find it comfortable to completely stop it. Am I thinking right?

A. you have all the right to decide what you feel is right. WHO recommends breastfeeding till the age of 2 years but if you are not comfortable you can switch to formula milk as a mother's health is as important as a child's health

A. U Should actually breastfeed your child up till the age of one year after that if you want you can quit and as of now you can give formula feeding to the child during the night time if you feel that your child is hungry or wakes up every now and then and you can always use a nipple shield to feed your child whenever you are feeding so this is what I have is correct according to me rest is going to be your choice but I would still say try to breastfeed up till the age of one year and then you quit
