My son is 3 years old my doctor says breastfeeding once a day is fine but the boy insists to breastfeed just the way as if he were still a newborn baby and my cousin who stays nearby has delivered a baby my son even wanted to be breastfed by his aunt when she came with the baby my elder sister is alone so should I send my son there I hope his elder aunt will teach him to eat healthy fod and break his breastfeeding habit as his teeth hurt my breasts vidya replied. 3 years and still breastfeeding....Get a life girl.. put him in school. supriyasanoj replied. Hey Sudha....3 years is such long time to breastfeed.now he should be a preschooler.Distract him to other activities.As you mentioned take him to your elder aunts home atleast for half a day,every day.Take him to park and other friends house where he can play with kids.put him in a school or Montessori.Let him watch his favorite program on tv.give him interactive toys like puzzles,building blocks anything like that.In the evening' s take him out to play ground and make him play really active and give him heavy dinner,so he will be full and sleeps through the night.I know it is going to be a challenge,because he is a big boy and he can understand.but 3 years is quiet a long time,and you cannot continue this for longer,He has to go to school and be a independent kid.
