My 17 mo son is crying non stop. I'm in the process of weaning him with the help of my parents. I have very low milk production and he's getting frustrated and crying non stop. We are at our wits end. Any suggestions?

Is he getting frustrated from the decreasing amount of milk that he is getting? You can consider supplementing with regular milk or supplement and gradually weaning him off. This may help reduce his anxiety. Children are used to routine and any suddenly changes will upset them as they still may not have the ability to understand what is happening. Routine comfort them as they could predict what is coming next. Hence, if you are weaning him and there is sudden change to his routine, he could feel flustered. Make the changes slowly and try adding formula or regular milk to his normal feeding to adapt him to the taste. This may help reduce the changes that he is facing and help him adapt better.
