Weaning process

**Weaning Process**

The weaning process refers to the gradual transition of an infant or young child from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding to eating solid foods and drinking from a cup. This important developmental stage helps children gain independence in their eating habits while ensuring they receive the necessary nutrition for healthy growth. Effective weaning involves introducing a variety of nutritious foods, paying attention to the child’s readiness cues, and maintaining a balanced diet to support their changing nutritional needs. Understanding the weaning process is essential for parents and caregivers to create a smooth and positive experience for the child.
