Some mothers, due to their own reasons, are unable to provide their babies with sufficient milk, so they need to feed their babies through formula milk to provide nutrition. Some mothers need to breastfeed their babies, but they are afraid of affecting their physical and mental health. So how long is it better for babies to stop breastfeeding?
Generally speaking, after the baby is half a year old, the nutrients in breast milk no longer meet the needs of the baby's body, and it is time to weaned the baby. But the World Health Organization recommends that if conditions permit, babies can be breastfed until the age of 2. At this point, after the baby is half a year old, mixed feeding can be adopted. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether to breastfeed the baby based on the mother's own situation.
If you want to weaning your baby, you need to pay attention to choosing the appropriate season. It is not suitable to breastfeed a baby during excessively hot seasons, as it can cause the baby to become overheated and lead to some illnesses. Breastfeeding a baby is a strict process that requires the mother to provide both physiological and psychological security to the baby, so that the baby can accept weaning without affecting their physical and mental health.
For some babies who may want to breastfeed after seeing their mother, the mother can ask someone else to take care of the baby. It takes about a week for the baby to gradually forget about breastfeeding by avoiding it on their own. At this point, the baby will successfully stop breastfeeding.
