Self-weaning is when a baby stops breastfeeding on his or her own. Self-weaning usually happens at a gradual pace over time. As children grow older, get more of their nutrition from solid foods, and become more independent, they will eventually begin to nurse less often than they did when they were younger.
Wean Slowly. 1  1. Begin weaning in a slow, calculated manner. A slow and gradual cessation is better for both the baby and mom. 2  2. Gradually reduce the nursing sessions over the course of time. If your baby has become accustomed to a nursing session after lunch everyday, eliminate all after lunch sessions for one week.
