The best way it to cut back as many feedings as possible. There will be screaming and fighting for the breast. I am in the middle of this now and he is fine except when he is sleepy and wants to nurse down to bed. That has been the only difficult feeding. It is hard for him to learn another way to go to sleep with me, but he has. It is very trying on a Mother who wants to wean but also hates to see their child so distressed. If this is really what you want to do, start out slowly (this will also help avoid breast infections or clogged milk ducts). You may also want to purchase sage and cabbage leaves to help dry you up quicker. Good luck, hope I helped.

It's different for every animal, but typically, babies do wean themselves. I have animals and though most wean themselves, sometimes you have to separate the baby from the mother for a period of time and then you can put the baby back in. At least it's easy to do that with guinea pigs...
