How do I get my almost 2 year old daughter to give up breast feeding?

Bridget obviously knows nothing about breastfeeding.

For your information, the world wide weaning age is just over four years of age.

Another idea is to tell her that you will nurse her at a specific time, for instance, just before bedtime. Keep reminding her, and then keep your promise. Trying to wean abruptly is not good for either her or you. For other suggestions, look in the book, "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding." Again, gradually is the key.

I have found that distraction works wonders. Try giving up just a couple feedings a day. During the times you usually nurse, go to the park, mall, ect. You can also try offering her a snack of her favorite food or pick out a special cup. My son loves his "straw cup". Another thing you can try is limiting the time she does nurse. Maybe start with 10 min and gradually reduce the time she is allowed to nurse per session. I also tell my son that the milk is "all gone". He seems to accept that and go his merry way. I hope this helps.

You have to set boundaries. Offer a bottle/cup if she stops drinking or does not in 5 minutes, put her back to bed. If she cries, wait 15 to 20 minutes and try again. Hold her and comfort her, but do not give in. You have a few bad nights ahead of you, but you need to break the habit.

There are three factors at work. 1) Need for comfort

2) Need for food/liquid

3) Habit

You can comfort her as best you can, if there is a special blanket or topy, try that. Food and liquids you can provide with larger nighttime meal and offer a cup of water. It is the habit you are trying to break. It is tough to break one, but with consistency and firmness you can retrain the habit to not want to breastfeed.

We got our little one off by pumping my wifes breast milk and putting it in bottles. He kept wanting to latch on with his teeth which you probably know is very painful. We had to try several different nipples on the bottles before he found one that he would accept. This made it easier to transition to milk in the bottle then to the sippy-cup later on.

she's too big for that you should have stopped breast feeding after she turned one she should have been on whole milk. it's your own fault now you have to deal with it.
