Does the child have to eat complementary foods?

Patient's question:

Still breastfeeding, the child doesn't eat complementary foods. Will the child's nutrition be insufficient like this? What should I do? Will the child eat after weaning? I'm afraid the child will become thin after weaning!

Doctor's answer:

In such a case, it should be necessary to provide complementary foods, otherwise it will affect normal growth and development. It is recommended that you can gradually reduce breastfeeding, do not immediately stop it. You can gradually wean step by step, which is the best. If you are this age and not eating complementary foods, weaning may lead to some weight loss, and you do not need to worry. Generally, it can recover gradually. It is my honor to answer your question, and I hope my explanation can alleviate your concerns.
