Weaning can be stressful for a toddler or preschooler so take it slowly.Give your child comfort and cuddles to make the change easier.Our top tip for weaning older children? Never offer a breastfeed, but never refuse.Drop one breastfeed at a time, and wait a few days before you drop the next one. This will also be easier on your breasts, which might get engorged if you stop too suddenly.Consider dropping daytime breastfeeds first, then gradually drop any bedtime or night-time feeds – these are probably the ones that give your child the most comfort.Introduce a few limits, like not breastfeeding when you’re out, or feeding only after lunch during the day.Introduce activities and outings into your daily routine so your child is too busy and distracted to think about breastfeeding.
