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.
If you, for one reason or the other, need to wean quickly, then there are a few things that are important: 1  Make sure your baby gets enough nutrition and liquid. 2  Take careful care of your breasts. 3  Consider using some safe herbs that are known to reduce breastmilk supply. 4  Keep your baby close and cuddle a lot.
