The benefits of breastfeeding increase the longer you do it, and the World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding up until your baby is 2 years old However, at some point you will need to begin the weaning process. Weaning should be a gradual process, and ideally you will breastfeed until your baby is at least 6 months old. Gradual weaning makes it easier on the baby and your body will adjust better. Plus, babies benefit from still being on breast milk while they are starting solid foods, as it helps them get the nutrition they need. To start weaning, you want to slowly take away feedings one at a time, helping your baby adjust to the process as you do. You also need to take care of yourself, as you may experience some pain and swelling.
