If you've decided to stop breastfeeding, it's important to wean your baby gradually. This will help your breasts and milk supply adapt and will ease the transition for your baby.
Take action: The first week: breastfeed early morning, mid-morning and at bedtime. Give a cup or bottle after lunch. The second week: breastfeed early in the morning and at bedtime. Give a cup or bottle at mid-morning and after lunch. The third week: only breastfeed early in the morning. The fourth week: don’t breastfeed.

In the beginning, it will be easier if you ask someone else to give the cup or bottle because your baby will still associate you with breastfeeding.
