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 water to the child.
weaning is a gradual process and may take around one or two monthss 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 decrease over time and when the child doesn't get milk on sucking the child will gradually stop taking and asking for breastfeeding
Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. Hello dear parent! Increase the solid intake of your child and start giving small quantities of outside milk like cow milk or buffalo milk or packet milk. Start weaning off with one feed at a time. Do not offer to breastfeed your baby immediately on demand. Take three help of your family to soothe your child.
