How old can the baby be weaned? General baby 10~ 12 months can be weaned. This month's baby has begun to grow teeth gradually, and can also eat some complementary foods, and the digestive enzymes in the stomach are also increasing. Weaning at this time is a very good opportunity, and mothers must not miss it.
The older the baby is, the more difficult it is to wean, because the baby is too dependent on breast milk and has no interest in complementary food. Therefore, the later the baby is weaned, the more difficult it is to wean. Moreover, weaning is too late, which leads to the baby's lack of interest in complementary food, which will affect the baby's nutritional intake and lead to malnutrition.
What are the benefits of weaning your baby? After the baby grows up slowly, breast milk can no longer meet the nutrition that the baby needs. After the baby grows up, the appetite increases, and the mother's milk can no longer meet the baby's needs. If the baby only eats milk and doesn't want to eat other complementary foods, it will affect the baby's nutritional intake, lead to malnutrition and affect the baby's healthy development. For weaned babies, complementary food is more conducive to the development of the body.
After weaning, the baby is more independent. Before weaning, the baby always relies too much on his mother. After weaning, the baby realized that he had changed from a little baby to an independent big child. Therefore, if the baby is weaned, wean it as soon as possible. Weaning is good for your baby.
Weaning is a process that every baby must go through. Be prepared before weaning and pay attention to the method of weaning. Many babies will be upset when they are weaned, so they must be comforted correctly and never come by force. This is not conducive to the baby's health, but will cause more harm to the baby.
