Idea is to make him dislike the breastfeeding. Apply something like neem to your breast before feeding. And don't apply in his presence. As in some cases you may have to repeat it for a few days

Its really difficult to stop it all of sudden, make sure he eats properly and he is not hungry,apply dabur or any pungent smell toothpaste face mask any other thing.. make him smell it.. forget it he won't taste it even.. gradually he will understand its dirty and he should not have.. my daughter is 2 ,left breast feeding two weeks back.. but still asks for it.. this method helped me.. all d bst

This is my Story on how I made my son wean off from BF ..I fed him for almost 2 and half years.. I tried applying neem,lemon,everything nothing worked.. .. Finally one day I decided I should be very firm in saying no to my son. Whenever he used ask me for BF .. I said no.. and said mummy has no milk .. and mummy is getting pain.. For almost one week.. he didnt slept at nights.. and fought with me for milk and cried a lot.. But I said strictly "NO". Then he slowly understood that he wont get milk... Slowly he stopped asking.. Really it is a great acheivement for me :)

Feed little bit heavy foods.. anyway u will come to know when your kid will be hungry again.. little bit before itself you feed your kid.. That way his stomach will be filled and wont ask for Breast milk..

My daughter is also having this habit of having bf as and when she finds me free , my daughter is 2. 5 years old, She is aware about wound and blood , I have applied nail paint near bf and explain her that mumma get hurt that's why blood comes , 2-3 days pretend that u r not ok bcoz of that wound , baby never accept this that their mumma is having pain and they will have bf give more pain to mumma .. no doubts in nights they will wake more than once , take them in arms and roam here to their to make them slept ,give some water to drink.. but be strict , baby will cry but this step is mandatory too.
