Baby weaning is the process to enabling a baby to stop breastfeeding and instead to work towards eating either from a bottle, if the child is younger, or drinking from a cup and eating solid foods The time frame for doing this is really up to the mother and the child as natural baby weaning should always be the parent's goal. Yet, when the time comes to start working towards weaning, you may want to consider why the child is resisting. It may be thy are hungry and that means adjusting their meals to incorporate more calories. For many other children the need to breastfeed is not about eating, but instead is about time together with mom.

There is a lot of bonding that happens between a mother and her child during the breastfeeding experience. This bond is what enables the child to be comfortable and feel secure as he is young and as he develops. Eventually, there will come a time when the child needs to stop breastfeeding, but a problem can happen where the child is less willing to do so because they are craving and in fact need this intimate time with their parents. The good news is that you can help them through this process successfully.

It is necessary to consider baby weaning in terms of emotional strength. Encouraging babies to wean often means still giving them that close bonding time they need. Only mom will do in many situations, but dads should feel like part of the process. For example, since the child needs that close proximity, it may be a good idea to spend some time each day cuddling rather than nursing. For example, perhaps your child nurses each day at 11 am. You have fed them solid foods and are now sitting down to spend some time watching a favourite television show. Cuddle with them at this time. They have a full tummy and just need the feeling of security that usually accompanies breastfeeding. With some cuddle time, though, they can stop the breastfeeding without losing that needed security.

As you can see, the process of breastfeeding is one that incorporates a wide range of different things. You will need to meet the child’s physical needs of eating enough calories. But, you also have to take into consideration the child's need for security and comfort. When you can meet both of these needs, everyone involved will be in a better place.
