After the baby reaches one year old, mothers will gradually consider weaning the baby, but some mothers are not very clear about which stage of weaning is more appropriate, mainly because they are worried that early weaning may affect the healthy development of the baby. So, can babies be weaned at one year and two months old?
1. Whether a baby can be weaned at one year and two months depends on their own condition. Usually, the appropriate weaning age range is between 1-2 years old. Although the World Health Organization stipulates that breastfeeding should be weaned at the age of two, each country and family has different situations, so it should be flexibly controlled according to one's own situation.
2. If a one year and two month old baby has a good appetite for foods other than breast milk and also has a good physical condition, it is recommended to consider weaning at this stage. But if it is easy to get sick on a regular basis and the addition of complementary foods is not very smooth, the weaning time can be considered to be postponed appropriately.
3. In addition, babies after the age of one are already able to eat a wider variety of foods, so in terms of daily feeding emphasis, it is necessary to put more effort into complementary foods. To achieve diversification of food types and meet the characteristics of complementary foods for infants and young children, in order to better stimulate their appetite and facilitate smooth weaning in the future.
