Weaning

I need help with weaning my 16-month-old. I've tried going cold turkey a couple of times to no avail. He feeds throughout the night and I'm exhausted. He also still feeds on demand l, I tried to cut his morning feed out but he will not eat until I feed him. He also pulls on the top or put his hands down my blouse when he wants to feed. Any tips please im tired of bf 😪

I'm literally going through the same with my little one. 😞

I'm also trying, no luck so far.

Old fashioned tricks? Make em hate it. My mum used marmite and black pepper scented essential oils with coconut oul as a carrier For me.. i just weaned by distraction and slow routine change. so at breast feeding time i wouldnt be in the position she expected me to be. I would take her straight down and engage her in play and breakfast.. I ignored top pulling as if it wasnt happening.. And would continue with avoid and deflect tactics all day it took about 3 weeks. Every now and then like now shes teething she will try her luck but she knows that isnt what her and mummy do anymore At this stage its a routine habit.. rather than a need.. and for me i wanted a break between now and august when no 2 is due.
