A. dear mum, Ensure that the child eats enough; increase number of meals. Increase interval between breastfeeds. Drop one feed every day per week. Taper over 2-3 months. Stop morning breastfeeds first, then afternoon feeds after 2 - 3 weeks. Avoid situations that remind the baby of the breast: other family members and father can help with feeding and putting child to sleep. The nighttime feeding is usually the last to go. Make a bedtime routine not centered around breastfeeding. read a good book which may eventually become more important than a long session at the breast , rub child's back, sing lullaby. Your child may agree to rest his head on your breast instead of feeding. Talk to your child about what's going on. He may understand more than you think. A lot of extra love and attention in other forms will be needed now. for example try spending spending time at playground, or anything your child will be distracted with and stimulated by.

A. Hello dear parent! Try giving milk in cute Babyhug stainless steel glasses and Sippy cups. Gradually include all food groups in your child’s diet that is healthy and staple in your family. Good luck and take care
