We've had a number of questions about navigating weaning an older nursling so here are some suggestions:๐ A lot of mums find that thinking about the rhythms and routines of your day and starting to postpone or stop the feeds you like the least is a good first step. ๐ Dropping one feed at a time is usually easier and more comfortable, but if you have a shorter timeline in mind you can drop quite quickly - one feed every few days or every week or so, depending on how it's going. ๐คฑ Some mums find it helpful to talk to their toddler about times/places for feeding - eg in the feeding chair after your lunch, or remember we only feed in bed before your nap or only in the morning when the sun comes up now that you're a big girl... you'll know yourself and your little one best and what might work for you both. ๐ฆ Another strategy is distraction - either before the feed to postpone it (eg yes we can breastfeed after we get back from playgroup) or during the feed to shorten it (eg as soon as we're done here I can read you a story). ๐ If you're keen to hear what's worked for other mums we have an online meeting group that you're welcome to ask this question in www.facebook.com/groups/660288930767502๐ ABA have some good tips too www.breastfeeding.asn.au/resources/weaning-your-toddler-or-child
