Q:How to I wean my baby off breastmilk?

A:Once your baby is eating a wide range of foods,he may cut down on breastfeeding of his own accord.
 If you want to help the process along,try swapping one breastfeed to a bottle.As soon as your breasts have adjusted to missing on feed,drop another,striking a balance between breast and bottle.It doesn't matter which feed you drop first,but it's usually best dropping the one where your milk supply is least good.You can also shorten each feed so your breasts are never fully emptied,then they'll produce less milk.You will of course need to top up with a bottle at the end of each feed to make sure your baby is getting all the food he needs.
