First of all continued breastfeeding even after 2 years is beneficial for both baby and mother especially when you don't have a younger child. As per my opinion stopping breastfeeding abruptly is not a good decision and i also doubt the safety of such measures like applying neem oil or any other substance over nipple or breast to stop breastfeeding.
Next Steps
Should slowly switch over to solid foods or complementary feeding.
