When it came time to wean my 2 year old I found I was venturing into uncharted territory somewhat, as both my girls I’d weaned at 19 months. Suddenly I found I had a full little personality on my hands, who by 2 years old knew what he wanted, was fairly vocal about it, but was also a lovely affectionate little boy who enjoyed the connection with me.
I decided to take a gentle approach rather than completely stop overnight, and although it took a few months to transition, it was a comfortable process for us both.
My approach to weaning a two year old was:
- Ensuring his nutritional needs were all adequately met;
- Ensuring his emotional needs and connection with me was/is more than satisfied.
