Question

My baby has been crying constantly lately and doesn’t eat much. How long should a baby breastfeed?

Answer

Generally, it’s best for babies to breastfeed until around 10 months of age. The ideal time to wean a baby is between 1 to 2 years old. The timing of weaning is also very important; summer and winter are not the best choices. During summer, babies are prone to diarrhea and indigestion, while in winter, they are more susceptible to catching a cold. It’s best to wean the baby during the warm spring or cool autumn seasons.
