Weaning can be very tough for both the mother and the baby — be mentally ready for a challenge.
Replace one of the feedings per day with a bottle. Start with her least favorite feeding. After a few days or longer, replace another feeding with a bottle feed. Continue replacing bottles for times you typically breastfeed.
Try holding your baby in the same position as you do when breastfeeding when you try to give him a bottle.

Begin with liquids, then go on to semi-solids and finally to normal home foods. By the age of ten months, the baby should be eating an almost full diet. Most pre-made baby foods have “stages” of foods to help you decide which foods to start with. Many parents start with rice or other grain cereals and go on to vegetables or fruits next.
Start with just one to two tablespoons of solid food and increase over time as you baby wants more.
In cases of families with a history of food allergies, atopic eczema, drug intolerance etc, new foods should be tried with caution.
