Question
My child has been crying and refusing to eat during the weaning process. What methods can help a child wean off breastfeeding smoothly?
Answer
During the weaning process, it is important to gradually reduce the number of breastfeeding sessions and allow the child to try using spoons for eating before completely weaning. For several weeks leading up to the weaning, you can try feeding the child juice, vegetable soup, or other easily digestible foods with a spoon. This will help in the gradual transition to weaning. Additionally, parents should monitor their child’s condition and seek medical treatment promptly to ensure that the child’s growth and development are not affected.
