what my sister did in this situation is, as soo as the child spits, you remove him from the breast/bottle and tell him sternly that its is naughty. Then put him in a chair where he is safe, and leave him for 2 mins. He will only learn through persistance and consistancy that it is wrong.

not being rude at all but i would think that 21 mos is a little too old to be breastfeeding.by this time milk is not the only form of nutrition. even babies on formula should stop by 14 or15 mos.old.

U R already very late for this. Now he need a substitute. U can try a good teether or fig for this. whenever U feel like he want U, arrange that someone else should take care of him. Any rocking or twinkling toy can help U.

It sounds like he's ready to stop, then. Can you distract him when he cries for breastmilk? Try giving him some food that he likes, or a cup of juice or regular milk. Sooner or later he'll stop asking.

he probably had enough of it and wants to move on a step further? is he not a bit too old for breast-feeding anyway?
try some solid food out of a jar!

then just stop. He's not being difficult. There seems to be something wrong with your milk and that's IT! Try a bottle.

He's nearly 2 years old. Shouldn't he have been weened by now?
Are you going to be one of those mothers that still breastfeeds their teenage school children through the school gates at lunchtime?
