'Extended' breastfeeding. Weaning help!

[Rainbow1501]

Hi.
My daughter is currently 22 months and we have a happy healthy breastfeeding relationship which we both adore. I have no intention of stopping until at least two, however I would love some advice on how you all managed to do so. I don't want to go cold turkey, I also don't want to upset her! Any thoughts at all would be appreciated! Have you any personal experiences you can share! Thankyou :)

Ps - for the first time ever today she hasn't fed since she woke after her morning feed and seems happily distracted on other things! Not sure how I feel about this 🙈😂.

She's telling you that the time has come. I found that mine just lost interest and would rather play or share a story.

I stopped very gradually. Dropped one feed every couple of months until we were just left with bedtime. I stopped offering boob and when he was about 26 months he didn’t ask a couple of times and from then on I just said there was no more milk and that it had run out. Amazingly he wasn’t that upset. I offered a cup of milk instead but he often wasn’t that interested.

Dont offer it to her but also dont refuse it. Keep which is ever feed she like most until last. We started by gradually night weaning. Daddy took over bedtime for a week with a cup of milk. We kept busy through the days so he didnt always ask for milk. The morning feed was the last one to drop from us as he was an early riser gave us some extra quiet settled time. But we just started to get up and go get breakfast as soon he woke. It wasnt a quick process did it over a month or so.
