Question

My baby is already 1 year old and it’s time to wean from breast milk, but as soon as I try to wean him, he cries and fusses. How do I wean my baby?

Answer

Psychologically, parents should view weaning as a natural process. When a baby shows interest in flavors other than breast milk, they should use appropriate language to guide and reinforce, encouraging the baby and offering praise, making them feel happy and treating weaning as a natural process. At the same time, other family members should be conscious of interacting more with the baby, such as taking the baby to the park, exposing them to nature, broadening their horizons, and playing games together to make the baby feel loved and played with by everyone around them, bringing happiness, a sense of security, and trust.
