How to stop breastfeeding for 1 year old
My wife is 29 year old. We have 2 kids. My younger son is 1 year old now. We have started giving him porridge, fruits, rice, soups now. But she breastfeeds him too. I am not ok with it. This makes my son dependent. Please tell me how do I stop breastfeeding for a 1 year old baby?

You shouldn't stop breastfeeding at this age. Continue till atleast 2 years. He will not become dependent. Don't worry. Otherwise he will become dependent on so many medicines. Breast milk is such magical food. Please don't stop it.
