Self-weaning is when a baby stops breastfeeding on his or her own. Self-weaning usually happens at a gradual pace over time. As children grow older, get more of their nutrition from solid foods, and become more independent, they will eventually begin to nurse less often than they did when they were younger.
If you do decide to wean earlier you will need to remember the following: 1  all feeding equipment, including bowls and spoons will need to be sterilised. 2  younger babies need pureed foods and certain foods need to be avoided. 3  all food will need to be pureed to a completely smooth, thin consistency until your baby is 6 months old.
