I have a 13 months old baby and I've been br___t feeding her, now I want to stop br___t feeding what can I do to stop,and I've tried to stop but the baby cries endlessly

Try giving her a bottle to hold on her own as she may reject it from you. This worked when my little boy was 15 months and I decided to stop b___stfeeding. If someone else could help to give her a bottle then thi may work. It's worth a try!! Hope this helps. Good luck!

Also, you can probably try gong straight to a cup at this age, rather than starting a bottle. There are suggestions for weaning in the QA area on the La Leche League website - www.lalecheleague.org.

you will slowly have to cut down on feeds so your b___sts dont feel awlful and do it at a time when you can concentrate on it and not mine a screaming baby at night. get someone else to feed him/her however at this age you need not even use a bottle, but as s/he can smell your milk its making him/her confussed.well done for stick to feeding for this long

Your baby should be on cows milk now in a beaker. If she isnt already i would start reducing the b___st feeds and start with the beaker. If you normally put your baby down to sleep i would try and get your partner to put your baby down for a couple of weeks. i know it would be hard, but at the moment its like you are teasing her. because she knows milk comes from mummy and she can smell it she will get really upset as your not giving it to her. hope this helps

There are many things you can do to make the transition smooth. There doesn't need to be any crying at all. Check out the book "The Womanly art of Breastfeeding" There's a whole section on weaning.This website is very helpful. http://www.lalecheleague.org/FAQ/FAQSubject.html#Weaning:
