A. it is important to start alternate milk for the child for few days along with breastfeeding and then gradually you can stop breastfeeding. also at the night time you'll have to make the child sleep with some other family member so that when the child doesn't see the mother the child will not ask for feeding

A. make sure that You should stop it slowly. you should make your baby sleep with other family members for few days. if your available near by your bbay will demand more. Even when baby creis don't let your bbay that your near. Slowly they will get use to it. Try to stop it slowly. Gradually cut down the intake. Day time try to nurse more and frequently like should compensate for night hours. Distract with toys songs or take for walk whenever they demand.
