Methods for weaning a child include reducing the frequency of breastfeeding, introducing complementary foods, and soothing the baby's emotions. During the weaning process, the child undergoes developmental changes. You can start by feeding the baby complementary foods. When weaning, it's advisable to take some medications that help suppress milk production, allowing you to monitor the regression of milk supply. However, you may experience chest fullness and discomfort during weaning, but this usually resolves after a couple of days.
