There is no upper cut off age for stopping breastfeeding. However WHO says minimum till 2 years one should give breastfeeding..u can ensure good alternative feeds in the form of daal rice sheera, daliya khichdi etc..still child cries u can give him/ her breastfeeding..naturally u will be having very less secretion so he / she will stop eventually

Hi, do not start breast feeding.
Give saline nasal drops for nose block and Cetrizine for cold
Do steam inhalation
Give plenty of liquids/ warm water/ soup to drink frequently.
