Understanding the Basics of Weaning

Weaning is the gradual process of introducing solid foods into your baby's diet while continuing to provide breast milk or formula as their primary source of nutrition. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. After this period, you can begin introducing solids to complement your baby's nutritional needs.

The key to successful weaning is following your baby's cues. Each baby develops at their own pace, so pay attention to their signs of readiness for solid foods, such as:

Good head and neck control
Ability to sit up with support
Interest in what you're eating
Reaching for food or putting objects in their mouth
