ExpertSHRUTI KANCHANLactation Educator and Counselor2 years agoA. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby's life. After that, it is recommended to continue breastfeeding while gradually introducing complementary solid foods until at least 12 months of age.
However, the decision of when to stop breastfeeding is a personal one and can vary for each mother and baby. Some mothers may choose to continue breastfeeding beyond 12 months, while others may choose to wean earlier.
It's important to note that breastfeeding offers numerous health benefits for both the baby and mother. The longer breastfeeding is continued, the more the baby can benefit from these advantages such as enhanced immune system, optimal nutrition, bonding, and potential health benefits for the mother as well.
Ultimately, the best time to stop breastfeeding will depend on the individual circumstances and the needs and preferences of both the mother and the baby. It's recommended to discuss any concerns or questions about weaning with a healthcare professional or a lactation consultant who can provide guidance and support throughout the process.
