TT- Sucessfully stopping breastfeeding
This week marks the 1st week since Roy been sucessfully weaned from breastfeeding. I had been trying to wean him since he was 1yrs old and now at 2yrs 6mths he is officially off!! I had been taking it slow with Roy as I wanted to let him slowly self wean. A few weeks ago I read a post which mentioned a technique a mom had used successfully to wean her girls. It didn’t involve any cold turkey treatment which could have a drastic impact on a child’s behaviour so I was interested to try.
What method is it?

Hansaplast !! Two pieces of Band aid was what I required per day for a span of 3 days. By putting it on the breast daily Roy was deterred from daily nursing. He associates having a plaster to having a boo-boo and that mummy has a cut due to him biting. Even though he was fussing he didn’t insist to nurse and settled for the alternative- Soyamilk.
Now after a week he has totally forgotten about nursing and taking to Soya milk before bed. The next thing that I will have to tackle with Roy is to get him sleeping in his own room at night.
