It guts me, but it may be time to consider reducing/ stopping bf. I need tips & advice on how to start this process please.

Well, miracle boy turned 2 the other day.
Both he & I have absolutely loved bf, but to my horror, I am noticing friends. & family making wee digs about giving up.
I don't do this in front of any of them, btw.

I am a 45 year old woman ffs & won't be bugged or influenced onto doing anything with this child, but actually WHO recommends till aged 2 I think. So happy to stop as it no longer offers the health benefits I suppose.

He is happy with cup so that isn't an issue.

Ds 1 seemed himself but this fella loves it so don't think that will happen.

So how to start? What's the plan????

Thanks!

Ds 1 weaned himself sorry

Do do never offer never refuse at the moment? Does he BF at particular times? TBH for older baby/toddler I have found it easiest to not be around for a few days/ a week and then come back and say there's no milk anymore if they ask. Obviously not an option for lots of people, but with DC2 I just went to my sisters for a bit when he was going to bed (that's when he used to feed most commonly) and then when he finally clocked I told him there was no more milk.
