One thing is certain: all children eventually stop breastfeeding. They grow and change dramatically in the first few years of life, and their interest in nursing changes too. The weaning process starts when a child is introduced to foods and drinks in addition to breastmilk and ends when he finally stops nursing.
Introducing a baby to the exciting world of food alongside breastfeeding is covered in our leaflet Starting Solid Food, whilst this leaflet concentrates on situations when mothers plan to cut down or stop breastfeeding their babies or toddlers. It will help you decide which approach to ending breastfeeding will best suit you and your child and includes practical ideas that can help the process go smoothly and happily for everyone.
Information on continuing to breastfeed an older baby or child can be found in our booklet Still Nursing.
Available as a pack of 20 folded A3 sheets or as a single sheet.
