It should be done gradually. Start by reducing the number of times he/ she feeds in a day. Give more baby food.
To stop night feeding, make sure u feed her to her fill before she sleeps at night so she can sleep for longer hours, but when she eventually wakes up, give her tea, or water or her cereal, I said water because when some kids wake up and u give water they won't bother waking up at night again since all they will get it water.
The key is to feed them well before they sleep.

If d child is picky dats a long tin o,its won't be easy 2 stop breastfeeding,u have to find a way of making him stable on another food b4 u stop breastfeeding,maybe tea and bread or cereal som children prefer pap,I stop breastfeeding my son @ 11months after he's stable on cereal and milk (HEINZ and SMA) and some adult food, it was so easy. I started by reducing d number of breastfeeding,den @ nit I make sure I feed him with cereal b4 he sleeps den he'll wake up and suck only once

Re: How Do I Stop Breastfeeding by purityme: 9:56pm On Nov 16, 2014
I tried reducing feeding times bt he will rather starve himself dan take anything he does nt like tea @ all no matter what I add in it. I tried differents cereals until I stop buying dem he won't burge, now I giv him pap and milk he only takes that when he is really hungry. I make noodles garnished with fish and eggs all na the same. He takes experimental foods and stop d next day infact nothing wey I never do ooo. I ve settle with pap bt only wen he is very hungry

Thanks for encouraging us jare. As for d sour milk, don't think that Ȋ̝̊̅§ true. I've asked some doctors and nurses, said nothing like that o. That even if you stop breastfeeding and decide †Φ continue again, U̶̲̥̅̊ can. It takes like a month or so for †ђξ breastmilk †Φ completely dry off.

Re: How Do I Stop Breastfeeding by beeevan: 3:51pm On Nov 17, 2014
You don't wean a child abruptly, you start dropping his feeding time. Assuming you BF him 10 times a day, drop 2 meals per week till it reduces to 0. This method is painless and child adapts to normal feed quite quickly. It takes me 3 to 6 weeks to wean a baby and it's quite easier.

I'm not yet a mum but I've been with quite a no of them. Like other posters have said, try to reduce the no of times you breastfeed during the day. If it used to be four times, try as much as possible to reduce it to once. Substitute breastfeeding with any baby food your baby likes.
Try not to breastfeed at all at night. Rather, give him/her baby formula.
Once your baby goes a day without breastfeeding, that will be it.

my 50 cents
Re: How Do I Stop Breastfeeding by Nobody: 4:35pm On Nov 17, 2014
my friend stopped hers by leaving the house for three days. She left the baby with her sister that was staying with them. Husband and wife left to sleep somewhere else. The baby already knew the aunt, so the first night after crying for hours, she managed to give her some tea and paracetamol.

After 3 days, baby completely forgot about br. east.

Or you can take it gradually as suggested
