Question

How long should breastfeeding last for the best benefit to both babies and mothers?

Answer

After giving birth for 10 months, the secretion and nutritional content of breast milk increase significantly. However, at this time, babies require more nutritious food. If breastfeeding is not stopped, they may develop rickets or anemia due to malnutrition. At the same time, if a mother changes diapers for too long, it can cause the uterine lining to re-expand, leading to irregular menstruation. This can also result in poor sleep, decreased appetite, excessive nutrient consumption, and ultimately exhaustion. Therefore, it is very important to wean the baby at the right time for the health of both the baby and the mother. Additionally, decide on the best season. Choose a season that is more comfortable to implement weaning, such as late spring or autumn.
