There's no exact number of days to stop breastfeeding, because every mother-baby pair is different. The most health-conscious approach, according to general pediatric guidance, is to wean gradually over weeks to months rather than stopping abruptly.
With the most common method, you start with one feeding per day and drop one feeding every 3-5 days. On average, complete weaning can take 3-6 weeks. However, depending on your child's age, attachment level, and your milk production, this can be as short as 2 weeks or as long as 2-3 months.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend breastfeeding for at least 2 years; whenever you decide to stop, a slow transition is best both for your physical comfort (reducing mastitis risk) and your baby's emotional adjustment.
