Can a eleven-month-old baby be weaned?

Patient's question:

Can a eleven-month-old baby be weaned? This situation has been going on for a long time, and I am very worried, afraid it will become serious. Please give me some advice.

Doctor's answer:

A 11-month-old baby can be weaned. If conditions permit, it's better to feed the baby more breast milk, as eating more breast milk can strengthen the baby's immunity. Moreover, if the baby is accustomed to breast milk, they may refuse formula milk. Weaning can be done after the baby is one week older.
At 10 to 12 months, the baby has gradually adapted to foods other than breast milk. Additionally, the baby has already grown several cutting teeth, the digestive enzymes in the stomach are increasing day by day, and the intestinal wall muscles are also developing more maturely. This is the best time to wean the baby.
