At what age is it best to wean a child?

Every mother encounters a problem, which is the problem of weaning the child, because this problem is a problem between the baby and the mother. So it needs to be taken seriously. Then mothers have a question, at what age is it best to wean the child?

In fact, breast milk is the best natural food for babies under six months old. However, if the baby still does not stop breastfeeding after one year old, breast milk will not be enough, and malnutrition may occur in severe cases. Therefore, weaning should be done decisively and at the right time. As the baby's age increases, at the same time, the nutrients and milk volume contained in breast milk are only suitable for babies under 1 year old. The minerals and vitamins necessary for the growth and development of babies after one year old are relatively few, and breast milk can no longer meet all the baby's needs. Even babies under one year old who are breastfed need to add appropriate complementary foods and cod liver oil to make up for the deficiency of breast milk.

From this point of view, it is best to wean your child before the age of 1, but weaning is also a gradual process. Mothers should not apply chili water on their nipples in order to wean their children. This will cause the baby to refuse to eat out of fear, thus affecting their physical health. Weaning is not just a matter between mother and baby. Fathers will also play a key role in the weaning process. Fathers can assist mothers and try to keep children away from mothers so that they don't see mothers and think about breastfeeding.
