How can you wean a child?

Patient's question:

My child is one year old. I want to wean him, but he won't sleep without breastfeeding and keeps crying. Formula doesn't work either.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Advice and support.

Doctor's answer:

Psychologically, parents should view weaning as a natural process. When the baby shows interest in the taste of food other than breast milk, appropriate language should be used to guide and encourage the baby, making them feel motivated and praised, so that they psychologically perceive weaning as a natural process. At the same time, other family members should consciously interact more with the baby, such as taking the baby to the park, touching nature, broadening their horizons, playing games with the baby, making them feel that everyone around them loves them and plays with them, which makes them happy, secure, and trusting.
