A. Weaning a 22-month-old, especially when breastfeeding is used for comfort and sleep, needs to be gradual and gentle. Here are some helpful tips: Start Slowly: Begin by eliminating one feeding session at a time, preferably the one she’s least attached to. Keep the bedtime feed for last since it provides the most comfort. Offer Alternatives: Replace breastfeeding with a comforting bedtime routine—like a warm bath, cuddling, story time, or a favorite toy or blanket—to help her relax without nursing. Limit Access: Wear clothes that make breastfeeding less convenient and avoid sitting in regular feeding spots during weaning hours. Distract and Delay: During the day, distract her with play, snacks, or outdoor time when she asks to nurse. If she asks at night, gently delay and offer cuddles instead. Comfort for Sleep: Try sleep training gently. Hold her, sing, or pat her to sleep instead of nursing. Let her know you're there, even without feeding. Stay Consistent: Be patient and firm. Mixed signals can confuse her. It’s normal for her to protest initially, but she’ll adapt with time. Weaning is a big emotional step for both mom and baby, so move at a pace that feels right for you both.
