The Timing of Weaning Babies and the Relationship with Temperature

Question

At what temperature is it not suitable to wean a baby during summer?

Answer

As summer temperatures rise, a baby’s nervous system regulatory functions are not yet fully developed, and weaning may increase the risk of dehydration and heatstroke. Breast milk can strengthen a baby’s nervous system regulatory functions, reducing the occurrence of these conditions. Weaning is a gradual process, typically requiring half a year, starting with the introduction of mashed foods.
