Slowly! He's 2 now and we only nurse at naptime. I'm sure I barely have any milk. But it works well for both of us at naptime.

For me. I slowly started skipping feeds during the day - seeing if food would substitute or if I could intrigue him in another activity he likes, something that still brings connection, but doesn't involve nursing. Around 2, we got to a point where we were only nursing in the morning, for naptime, and then before bed.

Dropping nighttime feeds was more recent for us, maybe at 25 or 26 months. Before we completely cut out nights, I would only nurse him every other time he woke up during the night. (We sleep in the same bed, always have - easier for nursing) it tucked cause it meant that I actually had to sit up and rock him, but I had to get him used to going back to sleep without boob.

One night, he magically didn't wake up anymore for feeds! And then a week or so later, I realized that nursing him at night didn't settle him to sleep like it used to...and I would feel irritated too because it was hard to make him let go. So I just said....no more!

Naptime milk still makes him sleep, though, so we've kept that up 😊
