Answer
Your child now has just got into the habit of sucking at the breast even if there is no breast milk coming out. Applying a sour or bitter tasting substance on the nipple before he sucks at the breast would put him off. This may be done 3-4 times before he completely stops. You need to be firm about stopping the breast feeding.
