I’m Not Ready to Wean My Baby But I’m Ready to Ditch the Pump! | Hygeia Health
Weaning starts when babies have food other than breastmilk. It ends when they no longer have any breastmilk. You might decide to stop breastfeeding when or before your baby reaches 6 or 12 months. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended until your baby starts eating solid foods at around six months. This way your baby can get used to the change in routine and diet, and your body can get used to not making milk. Plenty of cuddles and time with you can help your baby feel secure and loved without relying on the breast. You can wean baby to a cup or a bottle.
