How to Wean a Baby and Increase Their Appetite

Question

How to wean a baby?

Answer

Weaning should be done gradually, while also paying attention to increasing the variety of complementary foods and reducing the number of feedings. Around the baby’s six-month mark, you should start to decrease the frequency of changing diapers and gradually increase the amount of complementary foods. During the weaning process, it’s important to focus on a balanced diet to prevent malnutrition and digestive disorders that could result from sudden weaning. Additionally, you should cultivate the habit of the baby using spoons and bowls for eating and be mindful of the type and texture of the food to meet the baby’s nutritional needs.
