Others have all said it - ceasing breastfeeding will be counter-productive. I have worked with malnourished children of this age and the reason they are malnourished is usually because they have ceased breastfeeding. The first priority in that situation is to re-establish breastfeeding. I would be suggesting this mother does what she can to INCREASE the amount of breastmilk going in to this child alongside nutritious solid foods.
