Patient's question:
Is the nutrition sufficient for a child who is still breastfeeding after turning one year old? When is it best to wean? I haven't learned much about it before.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question: There is no strict rule for weaning age. If the mother has plenty of milk, she can continue feeding for a longer period, generally around 1 year old. If the milk supply is low but the child is willing to eat cow's milk or other foods, she can also continue feeding for a longer period. If the milk supply is low and the child is unwilling to eat dairy products or other foods, weaning should be done earlier and can be done as early as 6 months. I hope my reply is helpful to you.
