A. Instead of weaning abruptly like applying neem oil or something else the below approach can be stress-free for both the mother and the baby. First try to regularize the Breastfeeding and solid feeding schedule and stop feeding on demand. Then Start weaning slowly. Stop one feed first during day time. Make the child forget it by diverting her with any interesting play or story or take her outside. After stopping that feed for couple of days, stop oned more feed. Slowly you will get to a place where you will be giving only night feed. Then you should start weaning the night feed. Take it slowly. She is mature enough to understand. Only that u have to be strict about these even if she throws tantrums. Try to explain in a way how ur milk supply has stopped and she has grown up and u can no longer feed continuosly all the time. Encourage her through rewards. Don't scold and make her even more stubborn. But you should be very strict and not give away seeing the child crying
