Patient's question:
How long should breastfeeding last for the best benefit for the baby and mother? What kind of assistance do you need: Hello doctor, how long should breastfeeding last for the best benefit for the baby and mother?Doctor's answer:
Ten months after childbirth, the amount and nutritional composition of breast milk have increased significantly, while the baby now requires more abundant nutrients. If breastfeeding continues, the baby may develop malnutrition-related conditions such as rickets and anemia. Additionally, if the mother spends too much time changing diapers, it can cause the endometrium to expand again, leading to irregular menstruation. Poor sleep, loss of appetite, and excessive nutritional consumption may also result in exhaustion. Therefore, timing the weaning process appropriately is crucial for both the baby's and the mother's health.Moreover, please determine the best season. Choose a comfortable season for weaning, such as late spring or autumn.
