Weaning a baby is also known as weaning in some places. And it is also believed that the age range for weaning for female and male babies is different, so this also causes some mothers to be unclear about what age range to choose for their female babies. So, at what age is it appropriate for a female baby to breastfeed?
In fact, whether it is a female or male baby, the optimal age range for weaning is the same, and there will be no different weaning time just because it is a female or male baby. Previously, this belief was due to the preference for sons over daughters in some places, which led to earlier weaning periods for female infants. This allowed postpartum mothers to end their breastfeeding period as soon as possible and prepare for giving birth to boys in the future.
In general, the time period for weaning a baby should be between one and a half to two years old, which is a good time for weaning. The preparation work before weaning can start gradually reducing the frequency of breastfeeding from around the baby's first year of life, and try to adopt a gradual approach to weaning, which can better help the baby accept weaning.
At the beginning of weaning a baby, most babies will experience emotional instability, crying and other symptoms. Therefore, as a mother, it is important to do a good job in comforting the baby. While breastfeeding, it is also necessary to add formula milk powder to the baby, which can make weaning more successful and provide necessary nutrition for the baby's physical growth and development.
