After birth, babies can only eat milk, but there will always be a day when they will be weaned. Many parents believe that their children can already eat a lot of food by the age of one, so they should be weaned. Some parents believe that their children should be breastfed until they are two years old. So, should a baby be weaned at one year old?
Whether a baby should be weaned at the age of one depends on their specific situation, rather than on certain theories. If the baby can eat solid food, get enough nutrition from their diet, and do not reject milk, they can be weaned. Otherwise, they need to eat milk for a period of time.
Some children are particularly dependent on breast milk, so they may experience crying and low mood during weaning, and may even experience a sharp decrease in weight. At this time, mothers should delay weaning. In addition, weaning children should be done gradually and should not be rushed. Mothers can cut off their baby's breast milk during the day because at night or before going to bed, the child will be more dependent on their mother.
When weaning a child, milk should be replenished. Mothers cannot demand that their child be weaned in one day, as it takes time. And after deciding to weaning the child, we should stick to it. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to weaning again. Parents need to take care of their children's emotions in order to have a smoother weaning process.
