The process of weaning is most healthy when done slowly and patiently at a time when both mother and baby are ready. Instead of stopping suddenly, start by dropping one daytime nursing session and replacing it with a healthy meal or water/solids. Once baby adjusts, gradually drop another feeding; nighttime nursings are saved for last. This "drop one at a time" approach prevents sudden breast duct blockage in the mother and gives baby emotional time to adjust. If baby is under 12 months, replace breast milk with doctor-recommended follow-on formula; if over 12 months, 2 cups of full-fat cow's milk daily covers milk needs. Throughout the process, give baby extra cuddles, skin-to-skin contact, and attention to fill the comfort nursing need. If the mother experiences breast redness, swelling, or fever, seek medical care right away.
