A. breastfeeding is safe till whenever you and baby are willing to carry on weaning is a long and gradual process babies take time to develop take of milk other than breastmilk

A. You can continue breastfeeding until 1.5 to 2 yrs. There is no need to forcefully stop it now. Instead you may follow a schedule when to breastfeed and when to feed other milk and stock to it even if the child is throwing tantrums don't give away.. You can Start with few spoons of cows milk, on the first day. Continue it for two more days. If ur baby tolerates it then gradually increase the amount. Also introduce cows milk in other forms like chapathi, idly or dosa or rice in milk like that. But never expect the baby to drink one glass of milk on the first go. It will take time
