how to stop breastfeeding ,when we stop

Question

Accepted Answer

When you are ready to stop breastfeeding (wean your baby), it’s best to do it gradually and gently to make it easier for both you and your baby.
Here’s how you can do it:

Start by dropping one feed at a time, usually a daytime feed first (keep bedtime or comfort feeds for last). Replace that feed with solid food or formula milk depending on your baby's age. Offer more cuddles, love, and attention so your baby feels secure even without breastfeeding. Distract your baby with play, walks, or other activities when she asks for nursing. Gradually reduce other feeds over days or weeks depending on how your baby adjusts. If your breasts feel full, express a little milk (just enough to relieve discomfort) but do not fully empty — this tells your body to slowly make less milk. Wear firm but comfortable bras, and avoid stimulating your breasts. Drink sage tea (optional, after checking safety) as it naturally helps reduce milk supply.

Important:

Never stop suddenly unless needed for medical reasons. If you or baby feel very upset, slow down and try again gently
