What Is Your Weaned?

The weaning process begins the first time your baby takes food from a source other than your breast – whether it's formula from a bottle or mashed banana from a spoon. Weaning is the gradual replacement of breastfeeding with other foods and ways of nurturing.

What does it mean for a child to be weaned?

Weaning is when a baby moves from breast milk to other sources of nourishment. Weaning your baby is a process that takes patience and understanding from both you and your child.

What is self weaned?

Self-weaning is when a baby stops breastfeeding on their own. Self-weaning usually happens at a gradual pace over time. As children grow older, get more of their nutrition from solid foods, and become more independent, they will eventually begin to nurse less often than when they were younger.
