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.
Talk with your caregiver about the best time to wean your baby. 1  Introducing solid foods: Weaning should begin when your baby is about 6 months old.  Weaning from breast milk: Your baby needs nutrients from breast milk until he is at least 12 months old.
