Need to stop breast feeding
My baby boy is two years old this month and still does breastfeeding after lunch 1-2 times daily and during night after dinner while making him to sleep, he too wakes up at night to have feeding 1-3 times till he wakes up fresh in the morning, if I make him avoid doing he starts crying and forcing me to allow him to feed freely.
Please suggest how to help him without disturbing his sleep as he is even not ready to take bottle milk and if we are making him to have some food at midnight then we won't sleep immediately after it and will be awake for min. 2 hours.
How long to continue feeding or to stop completely? And even he has not started speaking much which is more difficult us to make him understand to stop at this moment.

Sometimes it's just habit to suck at night, not much nutritive value.

At this age, baby should be off breastfeeding atleast during daytime.
You need to be a bit patient and let baby know that he's not going get breastfeeding during daytime.
It will be a difficult period but if you avoid feeding during daytime for 4 to 5 days, he will stop asking for it.
He is old enough to understand this stuff.
Night time feeds you can continue if you want to, or else do the same for night-time feeding too.
