A prepared child and mother will always go through a peaceful transition.
Stopping breastfeeding is a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel a little emotional about it. This programme with Shrreya, a Certified Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator, guides you through a gentle and gradual weaning process: from managing engorgement and milk supply to moving your baby to solids, bottle or sippy cup. You’ll also get to ask your questions and connect with other parents going through the same journey. Weaning with care, not guilt, so both you and your baby feel supported.
Whether you’re weaning a newborn, an older infant or a toddler, you get practical strategies, emotional support and step-by-step tips tailored to your baby’s age and your own situation.
“Stopping breastfeeding doesn’t mean breaking the connection – it means building a new one.”

Shreeya Shah
Founder, MyDvija · Childbirth Educator · Lactation Consultant · Parenting Coach
Shrreya Shah has spent 18+ years supporting mothers through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and the early years of parenting. She began her work after facing her own struggles around breastfeeding and the lack of real guidance for new parents, so she understands both the practical and the emotional side of starting, and of ending, a breastfeeding journey. She has since supported 4000+ families.
As a Certified Lactation Consultant and Childbirth Educator, she looks at weaning as a whole: your baby’s age and readiness, your milk supply and comfort, sleep habits, nutrition and your own feelings. That is why this programme covers engorgement and feed reduction as carefully as it covers guilt, hormones and the effects of weaning on the mother.
