When and how to wean from breastfeeding?

Hello! My child on May 1 will be a year old. When and how to wean from breastfeeding, so as not to harm the baby?

Hello! Breastfeeding is usually stopped when the child reaches the age of 1.5-2 years. We need to wean gradually. First of all, you can gradually reduce the time of feeding, later you can skip, not forgetting to occupy a child with something.

Eliminate from your diet foods that improve lactation. Try to use less fluid. Try not to feed your baby at night if he wakes up and cries. And do not forget to introduce lures and create a favorable psychological environment.

Editorial comment

We advise you to read the article about cessation of lactation.
