Patient's question:
Will babies have a period of weaning?Doctor's answer:
Babies all have a weaning phase. The phenomenon of babies rejecting milk is commonly observed after six months of age, with some babies even showing signs of weaning around four months. There are many reasons for this. As time passes, infants' physiological development and sensory functions become increasingly mature, leading them to develop curiosity about their surroundings and a desire to explore. Naturally, this can easily distract them from "eating," which is likely the main reason for weaning. Additionally, after four months, complementary foods can be introduced to babies. Once they consume a variety of foods different from cow's milk, they may "prefer new things to old," losing their preference for the single flavor of "milk."
