I was wondering, how are you weaning him? Maybe if you start by replacing one feed with cow’s milk, and then slowly progressing (over a span of a few weeks) till all feeds are replaced might work. Taking away all the feeds except one might be hard for him.

The_Inspired: . My son is one of those people who wouldn’t drink milk, cow’s milk or formula. I have tried every form of it in every time of the day. He wouldn’t take milk. I have replaced milk with yogurt and cheese.
During the past 2 months, I have slowly converted every nursing break to snack time and now he eats much better than when he used to nurse during the day. That is how I tried to wean and by the start of this month, he was already taking only night time feeds(3 -4 times a night). It was not an overnight process, it happened in 2 months. But I still plan to keep up with the night time feeds and wait for him to stop himself!

Again, that is my view. If you are desperately trying to wean, you did well first time before the fever. Follow the same thing again and you will do it soon.

The_Inspired: I would have totally agreed with you about 3 months back. When Pappu turned one, more people started asking me when I planned to wean. And I would give them a look! Not only did I have no idea when, I also hadn’t even thought of not nursing him some day. But after 15 months, I was hit by the practical issues of it. Lack of milk and other toddler-ish ways of demanding included. While it’s true that some babies stop nursing by themselves after 1 year of age, some do not stop until 2 or even 3 and in most cases a third person’s help is needed to finally make the change. Third person is not an option for me.
And also, nursing to him is not for comfort now, he uses it to fall asleep. I feel that he should have a better sleep routine than this.
