Patient's question:
The main component of breast milk is fat, so some suggest weaning babies between eight to ten months. However, others say weaning too early may lead to nutritional deficiencies in babies.Regarding the assistance you need: I would like to ask the experts, what is the most appropriate age to wean a baby?
Doctor's answer:
It is possible to consider weaning for about 10 months. Advice: Starting from 10 months, first let the baby consume one feeding of milk daily, and increase the amount of weaning food. After about a week, if the mother feels that her breasts are not too full and the baby is absorbing and digesting well, you can then eliminate another feeding of milk and further increase the amount of weaning food, gradually weaning the baby. It is best to first reduce the daytime feeding because there are many distractions for the baby during the day, and he will not be particularly concerned about his mother. However, in the morning and evening, the baby will be very attached to his mother and will need comfort from breastfeeding. After eliminating the daytime feeding, gradually reduce the nighttime diaper changes until fully weaned.
