Thinking about stopping breastfeeding can bring up all sorts of feelings. You might be ready to stop completely, want to reduce daytime feeds, or be thinking about night weaning.
Whatever your reason, you don’t have to stop suddenly or figure it out alone.
This personalised 1:1 online session helps you create a calm, realistic plan for weaning from breastfeeding that considers both you and your baby.
You might be wondering:
“Where do I start?”
“How do I stop breastfeeding without upsetting my baby?”
“How do I reduce night feeds?”
“What can I offer my baby instead?”
We can work through these questions together and create a plan that feels manageable for you.
This session may be right for you if:
We’ll look at your current breastfeeding pattern, your reasons for weaning and what you’d like to achieve.
Together we’ll explore:
This isn’t about cutting feeds quickly. It’s about finding a pace that works for you and your baby.
“I wanted to start trying for my second baby and knew I had to reduce or stop feeding my (almost) 2-year-old. I was so scared and nervous, as breastfeeding was their everything. With Vicky’s help, we managed to first night-wean and then keep a ‘reconnection’ feed during the day. This was such a gentle and simple process. Having Vicky on WhatsApp meant I could ask questions and get her reassurance during those tricky times. Thank you so much for your patience and help.”

I'm Vicky, a qualified breastfeeding counsellor and breastfeeding consultant, and I've breastfed my own three children well into toddlerhood. I've navigated allergies, mastitis, hospital admissions, NICU stays and breastfeeding after C-sections, so I know that breastfeeding doesn't always go exactly to plan. My aim is simple: The aim of this course is to help you feel confident, supported and prepared to gently reduce or stop breastfeeding in a way that feels right for you and your baby. x
When booking, please select the Monday of the week you would like to undertake the course. I will then be in touch to find a time and date as close to that week as possible.

Gradually reducing feeds can give both you and your baby time to adjust. Your session will help you create a personalised plan based on your little’s age, feeding pattern and your goals.
Night weaning can be approached gradually and responsively. We’ll look at your current night feeds and discuss gentle strategies for reducing them while supporting your little with other ways of settling and comforting.
There isn’t one set timeframe. Some parents reduce feeds over a few weeks, while others take longer. Your plan will be based on what feels realistic and manageable for you and your little.
It’s completely normal for your little to have feelings about changes to their usual feeding routine. We’ll discuss ways to offer comfort, connection and reassurance while gradually reducing feeds.
This depends on your baby’s age. If your baby is under 12 months, breast milk or first infant formula should remain their main milk source. We’ll discuss how to safely replace feeds that you decide to drop.
