Question
The child hasn’t stopped breastfeeding yet and isn’t eating complementary foods. Is there a risk of insufficient nutrition for the child? What should I do?
Answer
In such cases, it is advisable to introduce complementary foods; otherwise, it may affect normal growth and development. It’s recommended to proceed gradually and not to wean the child abruptly. You can slowly reduce the amount of breast milk, which is more suitable for the child’s adaptation. If the child is still not eating complementary foods at this age, they may lose some weight after weaning, but they usually recover slowly. I’m glad to have answered your question, and I hope my explanation has alleviated your concerns.
