use bitter leaf to rub your nipples before giving the child the breast to suck, keep repeating the process, i bet you that will be the end of breast sucking for that child

Take the baby to your mother if she is not busy, put bitter leaf juice on the breast when the baby taste it he/she will avoid it though some babies will bear the bitter taste, lick it off and enjoy the breast milk lastly feed the baby with normal food and endure the baby’s cry when he/she wants breast milk
Taking the baby to the grandmother is a very wrong way of weaning... It leads to detachment..

Reduce the night suckling, then to the day suckling..You can use aloevera to assist you..
Re: Mothers, How Do You Stop A Baby From Breastfeeding? by rezzy: 7:22am On Sep 20, 2021
Try using bitter leaf, nuru, aloe vera, flagin, aboniki on the nipple. (This didn't work for my son though, he wíll use my clothes to clean it off)

If you can endure his cry, then whenever he wants to suck, offer him juice or any snack but if you can't watch him cry endlessly

You best bet is to take him to either your mom or MIL. In just a week he will forget breastfeeding

Long breastfeeding makes the breast sag na. This I know but doctors said Las Las with aging it will sag whether we like it or not.


Sure... Breast will surely sag no matter what! If it sags go for breast augmentation.

I'm still thinking about this eehn... Cause my baby has over sucked me sef, she won't eat her cereal, and she's eight months old already... she literally cries whenever we feed her... I don't know how I'd do it ...

She will stop, but you will need to be firm and you will need alot of heart, yes heart. She will cry when you do, but stand your ground. Your husband should also cooperate with you on this. My son is over 2 years but we still have to force him to eat ordinary pap.. �

Don't punish the young baby, just get freshyo available, and anytime he or she cries for breastfeeding just feed him/her the Freshyo, within three days, your baby will forget breastfeeding, pls don't punish the young baby as some nairalanders suggest oh, some people are naturally and born wicked..
Re: Mothers, How Do You Stop A Baby From Breastfeeding? by calebseun2015(m): 7:45am On Sep 20, 2021
If you are not really financially buoyant, do not use freshyo or other soft drinks to wean the baby. Give him or her water whenever he or she cries in the night, exactly what we did for our baby because we started with freshyo but he began to take almost 10 freshyo per night then we had to change to water at night and custard/milk during the day though he now eat other food now.

I remember how my wife stopped the twins from breastfeeding in 2017. We travelled home during Chrismas for family reunion, she dropped them with my mum, however, it wasn't easy, Taiwo almost cried himself to sickness, but Ìyá Lanre , who's an expert in babysitting didn't burge. By the time we arrived back in Abuja, they don forget everything about breastfeeding. It's was amala, noodles and cereals thereafter.
Don't Tell me it's your Mum you called Iya Lanre

Girls of nowadays sef.
But your mother breast-fed you for over 3 years without complaining.
You breastfed your baby for just few months you're already complaining.
In those old days, babies are breast fed for over 5 years.
With all due respect ladies work fully now. In the old days, men don't ask what are you bringing to the table or where do you work within 10mins of conversing

See them. Girls of nowadays. They know anything that could make them lazy; anything that could take away their gender duties and responsibilities as women. All they just want to do is sleep, eat, get their dirty private part licked, and watch BBN.

A baby you likely never breastfed over 1 year, you're already talking of wickedly punishing the little, innocent creature with aloe vera. While you yourself cannot swallow a drop of aloe vera.


Look at this wicked soul that has never carried a child in the womb or woken up every night to nurse a child..no one has used ur nipples as chewing gum and u still had to carry out ur other responsibilities...u seat at the TV and watch ur matches and news but have d audacity to judge a woman for relaxing...so u tink a child will stop sucking on his own without trying to wean him off? Alo Vera is a healthy plant and wonderful for weaning off a child from breast milk so shut ur trap and stop displaying your ignorance and stupidity here

doesn't work, baby will be shocked at first attempt, then get used to it. If you want to stop weaning, start gradually, then isolate breast from baby. If u rub bitters and keep flaunting boobs for baby, you will end up where u started

Yes.
Years ago, i boarded a taxi with one old woman. The old woman (likely around 70) said she was traveling to see her own mother who is still luckily alive (over 100 years or so). She said she breastfed her for over 5 years when she's already old and going on errands.
She said sometimes after coming back from errand, she would still be breastfed.

Women from older generations are the real women, all these girls we have left now are just sx objects and she-goats.
No attribute of virtuous women in them.

Stop with the insults.
In this era u'd be raising a disgusting pervert if you are breastfeeding a 5yr old.
Times have changed, women are more industrious now.
But you can practise what you preach tho, that's if any woman is willing to marry you with this your breastfeeding agenda.

This is not true though. These kids won't stop in two years if you are not doing anything to stop it. My first daughter sucked for about 2 and half years

8 months is too early to wean, considering the natural immunity breast milk provides to babies, I think every child deserves unhindered access to breast milk for at least 12 months and at most 18 months after which you can wean the child. When we are babies, some of our mothers breastfed till the baby is 3years old, yes 36 months straight grin grin grin. so trying to wean an 8 month old baby is harsh in my opinion.

I'm not a mother yet but for my nephew that wasn't even ready to stop, we stayed together for 3 nights.. When he starts crying in the night, I just give him water and then biscuits. He cried a lot before accepting it the first night, 2nd night the crying was less and then the 3rd night, he picked up the water himself and that was it..
When the mother tried to breastfeed him again, he just smiled and looked away.

So from a gynaecologist, it's best to stop slowly. If you stop abruptly, you will go through done serious pain and your breasts will sag.

If the baby use to feed give time a day, start by reducing to three times a day, then two times a day, then once a day.

This will make the milk production to dry out on its own.



when we give kudos to our mothers, pocohantas nd geng of resident E newspapers will be hyperventilating, my mom breastfeed me for more than 2yrs.
Despite all the announcements and sensitization that mothers should breastfeed for minimum of one year, what we have today is mothers ganging up @ 6month cos all dey want to do is twerk, eat sharwama, selfies and head @ nite.
later in future when una sons go to BBN n start behaving like ozor & saga in one body no complain o

Know when to stop.
Ensure adequate nutrition.
Eliminate stressors.
Wean at night.
Reduce breast-feeding sessions slowly.
Use a pump.
Manage engorgement.
You've rushed to copy and paste and ended up pasting nonsense, just like your cow darling daddy

Oga, was your mother a working mum?

Or did she breastfeeding you for two years make you better than who was fed for six months?

It's recommended to exclusively breastfeed for six months, if you want to go further, it's your wish and choice.

Women have a choice on how long they will like to breastfeed and if they want to. No man has the right to dictate to a woman how she should raise her child.

Stop being entitled to a woman's body and what we choose to do with it.

Your mum isn't your wife or any other woman, it was her choice to breastfeed for 5 or 10 years if she chose to. All women don't have to make similar choices.

Thank you sir.
