Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 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 breazst 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 tzhe child will gradually stop taking and asking for breastfeeding .
