Question
My child has been crying and not eating much lately. When is the best time to wean a baby from breastfeeding?
Answer
According to expert advice, the best time for a baby to be weaned from breastfeeding is between 10 to 12 months. At this stage, the baby needs more nutrition, while the nutrient content and milk supply of breast milk have decreased. Choosing to wean during late spring or autumn can help the baby adapt more easily to solid foods. During the weaning process, parents should pay attention to observing the baby’s dietary situation and growth development to ensure that the baby receives adequate nutrition. Additionally, if the baby shows symptoms of not adapting well to weaning, it is important to seek professional medical advice promptly.
