I staggered the weaning until down to just the bedtime feed (for the older one) and tried my best at distraction and being out of the house (a lot of time in the park!) for all the other feeds. I think I made a big fuss of the older child being 'a big girl' and it coincided with getting them into a big bed, wearing undies not nappies and going to kinder. I tried to boost their self esteem about being ready for the next (independent) phase for them.

I tandem fed twice and with child #1 it was 3 days of struggle and I offered many other things instead, yoghurt covered sultanas worked as her treat! Keeping really busy for a week helped too. Second time round, i thought my booby addict girl would be tricky to stop and she surprised me by stopping on the day i set (she was nearly 3yrs) as she really loved the idea of being a 'big girl'.

Good luck!
