I am a bit stuck with how to cut down on breastfeeding my 14-month-old - you get so much advice in the early days but not at the end!
We were doing well at around 12 months, with just two feeds a day and one before bed. Since then she has had tonsillitis a couple of times plus her jabs and she was almost exclusively having milk then. She has now learned how to ask for/demand it and does so about 4-5 times a day now!
I offer her snacks and water but she often still wants milk after. Distraction helps but that is proving more difficult now we are mostly at home. I thought cuddles might substitute if it just for comfort but then she is close to the source and gets annoyed! Most of the time she ends up following me around crying until she gets it! Anyone got any tips? I don't necessarily want to stop completely, just escape this level of feeding!
