A member asked:

Attempting to wean my 21 months old from breastfeeding. how much cow's milk does he need instead? he's refusing the cup/bottle so far. suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weaning: Try to taper breast feeding gradually while training the child to use a sippy cup. 4 cups of milk 6 oz ea plus eating regular balanced diet including cheeses & yogurt should be sufficient. Good luck.
