Natural weaning occurs around 2 years of age.
Under normal circumstances, natural weaning occurs around 2 years of age, but it is generally recommended that babies be weaned between 6 months and 1 year of age, and complementary foods can be added to the baby after six months. In order to avoid the nutrients in breastmilk not being able to meet the baby’s growth needs, the exact weaning time varies from person to person, depending on their own situation.
It is generally recommended to breastfeed for the first six months and then add complementary food after six months until the baby is naturally weaned at the age of two. If you return to breastfeeding suddenly, it can be harmful to the mother and may lead to symptoms such as breastmilk deposition, swelling and pain in the breasts. In severe cases, it can lead to diseases such as breast abscess and mastitis.
On the other hand, as breastmilk can give babies a strong sense of security and self-confidence, a sudden return of breastmilk is not conducive to the physical and mental development of babies. In your daily life, you need to reduce the intake of foods that promote milk production and gradually decrease the amount of milk produced.
