What is the best age for weaning babies?

We all know that breastfed babies have stronger bodies, but at what age is it best to wean the baby? This question also troubles many new mothers, because most new mothers have no experience in taking care of babies, so they know little about the issue of breastfeeding. In fact, the baby can be weaned when he reaches a certain age, because sometimes not stopping breastfeeding will affect the baby's normal eating habits. Let’s look at the age at which babies are weaned.

What is the best age for weaning babies?

It is best to wean the baby when he is twelve months old, because at this stage the baby's digestive function has basically matured, the demand for food is increasing, and he can gradually adapt to food other than breast milk.

Be mentally prepared and keep calm, and don't feel sad or lost because after your baby is weaned, you no longer have the intimate communication you had during the breastfeeding period. Therefore, when we wean our babies, we must understand that weaning is a necessity for the baby's healthy growth, and we should feel gratified and proud that the baby's growth has entered a new stage.

When the baby is four months old, start adding some food gradually, step by step and appropriately according to the baby's age to meet the nutrition needed for the baby's healthy growth, such as egg custard, vegetable puree, fish puree, fruit juice, etc. Change the variety and taste more often to let the baby know that there are many delicious things besides mother's milk. In addition, let the baby slowly adapt to eating with bowls, spoons and chopsticks, and make adequate preparations for the baby's future weaning.

When the baby is ten months old, reduce one feeding per day and add some weaning food in appropriate amounts. After a week, if the baby's absorption and digestion are good, you can reduce one meal of milk. After the baby is successfully weaned during the day, slowly stop feeding the baby at night until the baby is completely weaned. Wean your baby during the day first, because there are many new things to attract the baby during the day, so the baby will not be too attached to the mother and milk. But at night, the baby will generally be very attached to the mother, and the baby needs to get comfort from the process of sucking breast milk, so weaning the baby should be done slowly, and don't be impatient.

To sum up, this is the issue regarding the month when the baby can be weaned, which is especially an issue that new mothers must pay attention to. Because if the baby is weaned too early, it will have a certain impact on the baby's physical health. However, if the baby reaches the weaning age but is not weaned, the baby will become dependent on breast milk to a certain extent. This will affect the work of the baby's mothers and other issues. Therefore, you must choose to wean your baby at the appropriate age.
