Question

At what age is it appropriate to wean a baby?

Answer

After the baby reaches 18 months old, it’s time to consider stopping nighttime feedings and establishing a routine of three meals a day. The milk quantity should be maintained between 300 to 400 milliliters. If the baby has developed a habit of drinking milk before bedtime, try the following methods to help break the habit: first, ensure the baby is well-fed at dinner and, when the baby cries, use other soothing methods to extend the time, such as gentle patting or holding tightly. If after half an hour the baby still cries, offer a smaller amount of milk.
