Closing the Breastaurant: Weaning Off a Breast Feed

Gradually reduce the amount of time you allow Baby to feed by 1 minute a night. If your baby is nursing for 10 minutes a side, start popping him off at 9 minutes, 8 minutes, 7... By the time you are nursing for 2 to 3 minutes a side, he may stop waking up on his own. Whoopee!

If you get down to ~2 minutes per side and your baby still demands to nurse at this point you have a couple of options:

Send in the Milkless Boob (a.k.a. the non-nursing parent) for a minute or two of gentle soothing. Babies are much more adaptive to the “No more food, buddy!” message when it’s gently delivered by the non-nursing parent. If your child is still grumpy after a few minutes of gentle soothing...

Let Baby complain. Your baby no longer has a nurse = sleep association and is now used to not eating at this time. There may be some brief grumbles, then they’ll get bored with the whole scene and fall back to sleep.

Move on to the next night feeding.
