Tips/advice on how to stop breastfeeding
Daughter is 15 months now, I would love to stop BF her but she is obsessed with the boob! I try offer alternatives & she can go hours without it if I’m not around, but as soon as she sees me she clings to me and pulls at my top/pinches my nipple until she gets it, I say no but get a tantrum.
Google says to gradually do it and I’ve tried multiple times but then she falls ill and doesn’t eat or drink anything (apart from boob) then it starts all over again 🙈

@Alicia it’s so hard isn’t it, this bank holiday weekend has been hard as she’s not been to nursery so wanting it even more!🥲😫xx
It's definitely difficult trying to wean them off especially now they know where to find it and will just ask for it and get it out themselves
Cold turkey was the only way with my first born, I’ll do the same with my youngest next month. I went away for two nights, dad did all the comforting, and when I returned he didn’t even ask :) he was happy and I was happy too!
@Sally we tried this mine was away from me for 4 nights and was happy with a bottle and a dummy with dad and nan but as soon as I came back she wanted it!

I'm in the exact same boat! She's so good without me she actually spent 2 nights at her nans and was drinking a bottle and had a dummy then as soon as I was back she was clingy to me and asking for the boob
