How To Wean A 17 Month Old Child From Breastfeeding?
I am a mother of 17 month old baby girl. Till date my daughter has been exclusively breast fed. She doesn t take formula or cow milk, hardly eats solid (by force takes 2 meal a day, that too 4-5spoons) have tried all ragi, kichidi, rice n dhal etc.whole night she want to feed. I am quite exhausted, have tried to wean her using been oil n fresh been leaf poster but couldn t wean. Heard from a friend about remote solution, does it work? Is there any side effect if I use?

Hello,
I think you should have been introducing the food to her gradually by the age of 6 months. Try to introduce food gradually from fruit juices to fruit and vegetable porridge
Also include some types of grains. Initially, don't feed her at night.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
