A. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends breastfeeding exclusively until your baby is 6 months old, then serving a combination of solids and breast milk until she's 1 year old. But know that weaning is ultimately a personal decision and should be based on what's best for your family. For instance, perhaps you're returning to work and need the flexibility of bottle-feeding earlier than 6 months. Most mothers choose to wean their baby off the breast when she's 4-7 months old, according to the AAP.

A. You should exclusively breastfeed a baby for atleast 6 months and for a minimum of 1 year and for a maximum of 2 years. Once the baby completes 6 months of age, initially you can start giving one solid or semi solid meal per day and then increase gradually. Once your baby completes 7 months of age, you should start giving 3 solid meals along with 2 snacks and atleast 2-3 sessions of breast feeding or formula feeding.
