Answers & Questions / Topics / wean from the breast

My Son Will Hardly Eat Solid Foods, But Then Demand The Breast.
My 16 month old baby will usually eat one good meal of solid foods a day. For the rest of the day, he will take a few bites and then try to climb on my lap to nurse. How do I get him to accept his "real" food and stop trying to breastfeed?

Many babies grow attached to nursing and will try to breastfeed for many years. You can try and associate breastfeeding with something he doesn't like. Try putting vinegar on your nipple before breastfeeding. This changes up the experience and might cause him to be more accepting of solid foods.
