Best Techniques for Weaning Your Baby

When to Start Weaning

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusively breastfeeding for at least the first six months of a baby’s life. From there, you should continue to breastfeed in addition to offering solid foods.

How long you decide to bottle or breastfeed for after the first six months is ultimately up to you. However, renowned groups like the AAP and WHO (World Health Organization) encourages women continue supplemental breastfeeding for at least a year or two (respectively).
