Weaning from breastfeeding can feel overwhelming, especially as your little one becomes more independent. My two-year-old is starting to show interest in other foods and drinks, but letting go of those nightly feeds has been harder than I anticipated. Striking a balance between meeting their needs and establishing new routines has proven to be quite a challenge.
I’ve been trying to maintain a calm and consistent approach by introducing special cups and snacks, but some evenings still end in tears. I’m unsure if I’m doing this the right way or if I need to be more flexible. For those of you who have gone through this experience, what strategies worked for you? Did you face any challenges, and how did you comfort your child during the transition?
