Weaning a toddler is a delicate process that can be difficult for both parents and children. We’ve put together three points to help you through this process:
- Weaning your child from breastfeeding will reduce the risk of contracting infections, such as mastitis or thrush.
- Weaned toddlers have more independence in their feeding skills which means they are less likely to develop food intolerances.
- Weaning will enable your child to enjoy new foods and flavors without being restricted by what they need to consume from breast milk or formula.
Weaning a toddler can be an extremely daunting task for parents. We are all aware of the health benefits that come with breastfeeding, but what about when it becomes too difficult to continue? It can seem like an impossible task at times, but they must eat nutritious food just as much as adults do.
