    The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding until 2 years of age, and domestic recommendations for weaning from 10 months to about 1 year old. The baby at about 1 year old has been adding complementary food for several months, and the breast milk has not reached the nutrients required for the baby's growth and development, so weaning at this time has little impact on the baby's psychology and physiology.

    The World Health Organization recommends that babies are weaned at the age of two or even above, and weaning children too late may cause a series of hazards such as picky eating, weight loss, and malnutrition。As we all know, breast milk is the best food for children, and weaning is also a must for every baby to go through during their growth. Regarding the question of the best weaning time, some elderly people think that children should be weaned after 6 months, because the breast milk after that is not nutritious, in fact, this idea is a misunderstanding, and the weaning time also varies from person to person.

    Many Chinese mothers do not have a long period of maternity leave, so they will be forced to wean their children after 6 months due to work reasons, which is just a helpless move and does not mean that it is the best time to wean. Chinese experts recommend breastfeeding until more than one year old, while the World Health Organization recommends that mothers breastfeed until they are two years old or even older. Breast milk itself is very intelligent, and it will constantly change the nutrients in it according to the child's growth in order to provide the best for the child.

    It can also be seen that weaning after the age of two is not too harmful to the child, but it also varies from person to person, and some babies must be weaned in time after some bad conditions. First of all, when the child has a great interest in breast milk after the age of one year and refuses to eat other foods, in this case, the mother should consider weaning breast milk. This is because children at this age must add additional foods, otherwise they will be malnourished, lose weight, and develop later than children of the same age.

    Secondly, the child is too attached to breast milk. Because this is not conducive to the development of their character, it may make the child very dependent on the mother, and it is not good for them physically and mentally. However, if the child does not have these conditions and can eat and sleep well, the mother can appropriately extend the breastfeeding time.

    It is important to remember that weaning is a matter between mother and child, and there is no need to listen to other people's dictations.
