A. Since your baby is 1 year and 8 months old (20 months) and eating everything, it is perfectly okay to stop breastfeeding if you and your baby are comfortable with it. Is It Okay to Stop Breastfeeding Now? ✔ Yes, it's completely fine – By 18-24 months, babies get most of their nutrition from solid foods. ✔ If your baby eats a well-balanced diet, including dairy (milk, curd, paneer), fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains, there’s no need to worry. ✔ The WHO recommends breastfeeding until 2 years, but it’s your choice based on your and your baby’s needs. Benefits of Stopping Breastfeeding at 20 Months Your baby learns to be independent in eating. Less dependency on night feeds, improving sleep. You can focus on family meals and solid foods. If You Want to Continue Breastfeeding You can still breastfeed once or twice a day for comfort and immunity benefits. If you feel your baby is ready to wean, you can stop completely. Final Decision? – It depends on your comfort and baby’s readiness. If your baby eats well and doesn't ask for breastmilk, it's absolutely okay to stop. Let me know if you need tips on gentle weaning!
