Question
My baby hasn’t been breastfeeding during the day for the past few days, eating only rice and nothing else. At night, they breastfeed but consume more milk. Since last night, I haven’t allowed my baby to breastfeed or to see me. What are the consequences of forcing weaning on a baby?
Answer
Hello, if your baby has reached the time for weaning, the nutritional content of breast milk may no longer meet their needs. In this case, forcing weaning on a baby usually does not result in serious consequences. The baby may go through an adaptation period, but once weaning is complete, they should return to a normal diet. Please do not worry too much; most babies adapt well to the weaning process.
