Question
My baby has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and doesn’t eat much. When is it a good time to wean my baby?
Answer
Generally speaking, around one year old is the best time to wean a baby. At this stage, you can gradually reduce the baby’s dependence on breast milk or formula milk, starting with the night milk and bedtime milk, and slowly letting the baby adapt to solid foods. This process requires patience and persistence from parents, as well as support and assistance from family members. In the first few days of weaning, the baby may feel some unease, but with perseverance, the situation usually improves gradually.
