Weaning: It is always hard to wean a child if they are breastfeeding for comfort, but the best thing to do is explain to him in simple terms that he is a big boy now, and be consistent- do not say yes one day and no the next. Cold turkey. He will cry but he will get over it. Buy him a little present for being a big boy-.

Weaning: Weaning may be stressful for both of you but is necessary. This is just the beginning of many issues of parenthood that are not easy. But remember that you are your child's parent, not their friend. It is your job to do what is best for them, which will not always be what is easy.
