Natural weaning of the breastfed baby

Newborn
Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding a baby ends either by induced action or natural weaning.

Here's what you need to know about the latter type of weaning:


  • Breastfeeding ends naturally based on your child's needs.
  • The age varies from child to child.
  • Your baby will express that he no longer wants to breastfeed.
  • He must be old enough to be able to eat solid food himself.
  • Natural weaning usually occurs between 2.5 and 7 years of age.
