Without knowing more about the Story of the child:
1. Weaning would mean in this case to take away a source of nurishment from the child which works.
2. I suggest to check for posterior tongue tie - which would fit to slow weight gain, apnea, feeding difficulties. If it is the case - treat.
The other issues can also contribute.
