Natural weaning of the breastfed baby

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.

Trying to wean my toddler from the breast due to feeling contractions while feeding… any tips for weaning? My sister suggested mint leaves to dry them out, I’m leaning towards the ointment that deters the baby from wanting to nurse.

Any tips on baby led weaning? My baby is 7 months and sits up by here self, keeps her head up, and shows interest in solids but I’m nervous for her to try because I don’t want her to choke. Any tips would be awesome!

Start with soft foods. Mashed potatoes, pasta noodles, etc.

What's you guys feeling on baby led weaning where they go straight to solid food . I seen a video of the baby gaging and I just can't see why someone would want to do this when the baby isn't ready for it

BLW is amazing when done appropriately and when baby is showing all signs of readiness.
