Hi doctor, my son is 10 months, and is breastfeeding and also eating solids, he doesnt like the formula. any ideas how to go about stopping the breastfeeding, he relies on this to sleep as well. i will be going for surgery soon and need advice ?

Gradual change: You could substitute a different soothing nighttime activity, rocking and gradually decrease breast feeding time, and possibly offer a bottle with water, maybe a lullaby or even reading , it might be worth having your substitute caregiver begin doing some or all of that process while you can still help out . Be patient with him and yourself.
