I breastfed my baby till 2. By then the feeding pattern was like before afternoon nap, night sleep and countless times while sleeping in the night. I got bites, the sucking was painful and I had a lesser milk supply. So I thought of weaning off. Initially I said "no milk" and that made her scream and whine. So I gave in for a week and gave her all the love and bonded with her more than before. Created that emotion of safety. I calmly said Mama's boobs are getting painful. She understood it gradually. I used to act painful frequently for about 3 days. She understood and one fine day she was too caring and said Mama's boob is broken. I said yes. I took a bandage and put it on my hand said my hand and boob is broken. She believed and she didn't feed for the afternoon nap. I put sleep music and cuddled her to sleep. Night time was tough. So I put bandage on my both breasts to show and she believed it. She whined for a week. It was tough but I tried maximum to keep calm. Didn't have sleep. Just had to sing or rock or calm down her. Slowly she started to learn the new routine. But somedays are tough, others are breeze. One more thing to mention, we shifted our sleep to a big couch instead of bed. So she didn't have memories of boobs. We are cosleepers. Slowly understood her moods and shifted back to bed. I had swelling from the day of stopping. I took hot showers 2 times a day gently massaging the boobs. I kept a count on the times I massaged. Reduced the massage every shower. 3rd and 4th days I kept chilled cabbage leaves on the boobs and the swelling was highly reduced. I think milk stopped after. It is so effective. I hope this gives some idea.

I tried everything and nothing! Someone in the comments mentioned this weening balm of etsy and i got it and omg!! 😩😩 we are 3 weeks boob free!!! My almat 2 1/2 year old was stuckk to the boob at night and even during the day. I thought I was never going tp stop breastfeeding. First week at night was a little rough because she would wake up to cry 1-2 times but i would soothe her back to sleep. Just rub the balm on your nipples during the day and before bed or keep it close thats what i did. She would smell me and just go back to bed 😂 good luck mamas! Don’t give in! Also the balm is organic and harmless. Its also literally like vaseline so your baby won’t know you put anything on it.

I am starting to feel “done” other times I’m sad to say this chapter of our lives is coming to an end. Glad to hear this trick can work and will be trying that. On top of the cold cabbage leaves. A friend of mine did that for about a week and took some Benadryl to help speed up the process. I’ll try the basics for sure.
