Weaning my 22-month-old from breastfeeding was something I dreaded—but to my surprise, it became one of the most beautiful transitions in our motherhood journey. I expected tears and resistance, but with gentle communication, patience, and love, we did it peacefully. In this post, I share the 5 gentle steps we took to wean without trauma or tricks—just heart-to-heart moments and consistency. If you’re planning to start your own weaning journey, I hope our experience encourages you to do it in a way that feels right and respectful for both you and your little one.
