A. weaning is a gradual process and takes time. ideally drop one feed at a time and avoid going near the baby when baby is hungry offer water or food when hungry

A. first of all... breastfeeding is good for you and baby. please continue if situation allows. if not , try to explai baby that this is not the time and give some snacks like cashews etc to divert him. try stopping at least 1 feed in one day. slowly he will stop.

A. Thank you Rashmi for your response but I am afraid whether this would affect on my body!! I just don't want to go in the medical mess again and take lots of medicines to cure something else again...

A. Then take a medicine from your doctor which will help in drying up your breast feed because as soon as your breast feed rise up when you will have nothing to offer what is your child going to have so this is one of the best ways for you to quit breastfeeding as of now because that’s the only option that you would be left with looking at the behaviour of the child I feel that is the best thingWrite Your Answer Here
