How To Wean A Toddler From Breastfeeding

How do I wean a toddler from breastfeeding?

Weaning from breast feeding should happen very naturally. As the toddler becomes more independent and enjoys table food more, the toddler should lose interest in the breast and breast feeding. In some families, especially at times of heightened stress or if there's been a divorce or a change in family structure, some toddlers do have a very difficult time leaving breast feeding. At that point you want to do some kind of signal that lets the baby know when your breasts are available and when they are closed. Usually nice tight clothing and a good firm "No, I'm not breast feeding" will inform your toddler that it's time to give it up.
