Set a schedule: Check your calendar pinpointing a specific date by which you want to wean can help you strategically plan. Then allow yourself a full month to successfully complete weaning this gives you and your baby a little extra breathing room should you experience obstacles and setbacks along the way.

Settle a plan: Switching over to a weaning pattern or routine allows you and your baby to get adapted to the change faster. What you could actually do is to omit one breastfeeding session a week probably the one in which your baby and you are most inconvenient in.

Wean with TLC: Just because you aren't comforting baby at the breast doesn't mean you can't nurture her in different ways. Spend quality one-on-one time with activities that keep her emotionally stimulated during this transition – cuddle together while reading a book or singing a lullaby, romp around together at the playground, or massage her back.

Let your little one lead: You do not initiate a nursing process unless your child too expresses interest in it. Always try to understand what exactly your child wants.
