Stop feeding
My baby girl one year 9 months old. I'm trying to stop feeding. I totally stopped feeding from morning to night. Only at midnight I'm feeding her. I'm trying to stop that too. She's not sleeping until she takes feed from me. We are giving her horlicks. But after drinking that too, she's asking for feed. She's awake nearly 4 hrs at night from 12 to 3. Both ours n her sleep r getting spoiled. I'm feeling very tough to stop feeding. How to make her sleep

You should continue breastfeeding till 2 years of age of possible. Search sleep hygiene for kids on Google. There are many things you can do to improve sleep pattern. Especially avoid mobiles , tv and screens before bedtime. Yog nidra at bedtime is very helpful for calm sleep. (For eg by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar). It's quite easy to sleep peacefully by following these for a month. Use fresh home cooked food instead of artificial foods.

Hi,
Give a calorie dense food before going to bed and keep her tummy full.
Next Steps
Keep her away from you for couple of nights. This way Your milk will stop and she will forget to feed.
