ExpertDr.Rasika ThosarPaediatric Intensivist5 years agoA. at. 18 months weaning from breastfeeding needs time and patience so that it is easy for both mother and baby. skip one feed at a time. offer something else to eat or drink. weaning from night feed is especially tough so avoid habit of feeding to sleep. gradually baby will also get accustomed to solids. . do it gradually. allow child to sleep with daddy or offer something else when child wants breast milk.

Ankita MehtaMom of a 10 yr 6 m old girl5 years agoA. hi ideally ,as per WHO standard a mother should feed her child atleast 2 year of age. but it depends on both ,I mean if both you and your child feel comfortable with it then you can continue otherwise try to wean your child gradually. as it is not just food for your child,it provides comfort and security too, please don't try to wean your child abruptly ,means by applying neem leaves or any medicines . instead of it gradually make feeding sessions short. offer food before your child asks for feeding. make food presentation attractive for example use carrot, beetroot,palak etc to make your child food more colourful. it will help to encourage your child to take interest in food offer small and frequent meals. try to make your child sit to take meal with whole family because children learn more from imitating their parents.
