    Consider weaning when your baby is one to one and a half years old. Because at this time, the baby has begun to add complementary food, and the erupting teeth have erupted, and the chewing ability of the teeth is also very good, and you can eat a lot of complementary food. The function of the intestines is basically overnight, and at this time, consider that weaning will have no effect on the baby's health.

    Mixed-fed infants are generally recommended to wean off breast milk and eat formula milk when the baby is 10 to 12 months old, because the breast milk at this stage is already relatively thin, and the nutrition and protein are not as good as formula milk powder, so you can completely eat formula milk powder and quit breast milk.

    Formula milk powder is about 3 years old for children, you can change to drink fresh milk, because fresh milk contains fewer preservatives and additives, which is safer for children's bodies, although the milk has a short shelf life, it is nutritious and suitable for children at this stage to drink for a long time.

    After many babies are weaned, parents and friends will give their babies some formula milk, after all, the composition of formula milk is close to breast milk, which is more suitable for babies to drink. However, many parents do not understand the question of how old they are to drink formula milk, so they don't know when to stop giving formula milk to their babies. So, at what age is formula milk good?

    In fact, there is no hard standard for babies to drink milk powder. If the family conditions allow, it is okay for the child to drink until the age of 5 or 6. Most families will choose to let their babies drink milk powder until they are about 3 years old.

    Because after the age of 3, the baby can eat normally. Of course, during this period, it is best not to let the baby drink milk powder, you can appropriately add some nutritious and easy-to-absorb foods such as vegetable juice, fruit puree, porridge, eggs, etc.

    In fact, after weaning, the baby can drink some formula, but it should be gradually added to complementary foods until it can replace the milk powder. Normally, the protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, carbohydrates, calories, etc. in milk powder are very important for the growth and development of the baby.

    Therefore, many people in life, especially some old concepts, will think that the baby can eat normally after weaning, but in fact this is not the case. First, because the baby's stomach and chewing function will be fully developed, and secondly, the milk powder also contains some nutrients that other foods do not contain, so it is recommended to let the baby drink milk powder at least until about 3 years old after weaning. Of course, if the conditions at home are acceptable, you can also drink longer according to the baby's needs.

    The World Health Organization recommends that babies be breastfed for at least 6 months, and if possible, it is best to extend breastfeeding to 2 years old or even longer.

    If you consider the baby's weaning time, it is best to wean, and you can choose to wean the baby at about 1 and a half years old.

    Breast milk is the best food for babies. However, with the growth and development of the baby, after 6 months, the nutrients in breast milk can no longer fully meet the needs of the baby's growth, and appropriate complementary foods must be added at this time. In the initial stage of adding complementary foods, the calories provided by complementary foods account for about 10% of the calories provided by all foods. By the time the baby is 8 or 9 months old, the calories provided by complementary foods account for half of all food calories; For babies about 1 year old, the calories provided by complementary food have reached more than 60% of all food calories, and the appropriate conditions have been met for weaning the baby from breast milk.
