Hello everyone! At what age did your child naturally stop breastfeeding? (when they voluntarily refused the breast). I am trying to reduce daytime feedings, but my daughter eats very little and asks for the breast to rest, relax, and eat... I can't resist because it’s also my break, and I don’t distract her during the day—her toys and activities only hold her for a few minutes. I don’t know what to replace breastfeeding with; she doesn’t drink milk, kefir, or Biolact (even the sweet ones). She snacks from my plate all day long. My daughter is 1 year and 4 months old. She wakes up 3-4 times at night.

My older child refused at 10 months. My son refused exactly at one year. My youngest has been attending the infant program since 3 months. Not because she refused, but when she didn't want to, she simply didn't demand anything.

At 11 months, my son stopped asking for milk at night. He drank water and continued sleeping. However, he was eating very well.

It's just a matter of setting your mind to it. With my four-year-old son, I took about three weeks without rushing. I put him down for nighttime sleep, and he woke up once or twice during the night. After a week, he stopped waking up. During the day, I offered him a nap once, and after that, he stopped asking for it.

Self-suggestion from the chest is fantastic. A child isn't foolish enough to refuse their favorite treat; it's just a matter of not giving it to them. After one year, they don't need to eat special foods—they tend to chew on things like pacifiers or teething toys. The sooner you stop, the sooner they'll start eating regular food and drinking properly.

In 2.4, almost a single day. I was tandem nursing, and for the older one, there was a trigger if the younger was eating and she wasn't. But somehow, the stars aligned, and I started feeling really uncomfortable and hurt, and she just naturally withdrew herself. Now she says that Lyalya (that's what she calls her sister) wants her titty 😂. When she was separated from Gredi, she needed contact in the form of hugging, specifically resting her head on my arm, and preferably, I would hug her with my other arm. That's the only way she still falls asleep. No stroking, patting, or water/juice/milk was needed at all. But we start daycare on August 1st, and breastfeeding was a real salvation during the adaptation period.

At 3.5 years old, when I became pregnant again, my milk supply ended in the middle of the pregnancy. I was no longer able to feed him, so I used breastfeeding as comfort and a quick way to help him fall asleep at night. When I realized there was no more milk, he was upset and stopped asking. Before that, there were tears and tantrums if I didn't give him milk.
