Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 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 watecr 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 decreasec over time and when the child doesn't get milk on sucking the child will gradually stop taking and asking for breastfeeding

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. U Should breast feed your child for at least one year of age it’s really important if you would amount to feeding don’t want that only you can quit it after four months also and if it is this something that you really want to do then start applying some lotion or cream which is edible but really bitter in taste like neem oil or something
