Breast milk is the most natural and comprehensive source of nutrition for the baby, which fully meets the growth and development needs of the baby within 46 months. In the meantime, there is no need to add other foods to the baby. When the baby enters 46 months, its growth speed is accelerated and its gastrointestinal function is more mature. At this time, in order to meet the baby's nutritional needs, you can start to introduce complementary food.

Exclusive breastfeeding

In the 6 months after birth, if the mother has enough milk, it is recommended to breastfeed exclusively. The nutrients in breast milk are very important to the baby, which can fully meet the baby's growth and development needs within 46 months.

Gradually transition to complementary food.

After 6 months to 1 year-old, breast milk should be the main food, supplemented by other foods, and gradually transition to complementary food. The nutrients in breast milk are still very important, and complementary food is only an aid.

Weaning time

Experts suggest that the best weaning time is usually between one and a half and two years old. Weaning during this time can ensure that the baby gets enough nutrition and immune support. If it is necessary to wean early for personal reasons, it is recommended to continue breastfeeding before the baby is one year old and consult a doctor.

Consult a doctor

It is wise to consult a doctor before deciding to wean. Choose the most suitable weaning time according to the baby's individual needs and physical condition.
