How old is it to wean a baby girl and how to help her wean her

Many young parents always ask, how old should a baby girl be before she can be weaned, and when is the best time to wean her? In fact, the time for weaning is generally from June to October, which is the experience of many parents who have experienced it. So, is this correct? There is another question that everyone is very concerned about, that is, how to wean a baby girl correctly?

What is the best age to wean?

As the child grows older, the various nutrients provided by breast milk can no longer meet the needs of the child's growth and development. Generally, the child can be weaned at 9 to 12 months. In areas where dairy products or other milk substitutes are scarce, weaning can be appropriately delayed to about 1 and a half years old.

However, there is no strict rule on the weaning age. If the mother has a lot of milk, the baby can be fed for a longer period of time. Generally, the baby can be weaned at around 1 year old. If there is little breast milk but the child is willing to eat milk or other foods at the same time, he can eat them for a longer period of time. If there is little breast milk and the child is unwilling to eat dairy products and other foods, he should be weaned earlier, even as early as 6 months.

How to help your baby wean off breast milk:

Weaning needs to be done slowly. The healthy growth of the baby requires the supplement of various nutrients. Therefore, gradually adding complementary foods until a smooth transition to normal food is an inevitable process. However, when it comes to grasping the timing of weaning, young mothers often act too hastily and wean their babies hastily, which in turn causes a sharp drop in the baby's appetite. We know that babies have a very keen sense of taste and are very picky about food, especially babies who are accustomed to breastfeeding, who often reject the temptation of other milks. Therefore, the baby's weaning should be done as naturally and gradually as possible. Even when he reaches the age of weaning, you should create a process for him to slowly adapt and never force it. The correct approach is: appropriately extend the weaning time, reduce the number of feedings as appropriate, and gradually increase the variety and quantity of complementary foods. As long as young mothers adjust the baby's feeding properly, I believe the babies can successfully pass the difficult stage of "weaning".

Well, the above is all the content I introduced to you about when and how to wean a baby girl. I believe that after reading this, parents should have learned a lot about weaning. In fact, generally speaking, breast milk has no nutritional value after 6 months, so everyone will choose to wean the baby after 6 months.
