Baby Porridge | Porridge for Babies - Ammae Papvita Baby Foods

Baby Porridge - Ammae Papvita Baby Foods: Weaning is the process of stopping breastfeeding your baby. There is no age for stopping weaning. It will always depend on your situation and your baby. Baby’s age is the criteria for deciding to wean off breastfeeding to a bottle or straight to a cup.

Don’t try to rush the process of weaning. Your body and baby both need time to adjust to the new routine. Trying to stop breastfeeding too early can lead to some discomfort. Make the weaning process more gradual from feeding once a day to feeding once every few days. Remember that it’s about finding the right process for both you and your baby.

Eating new food is a skill that children learn as per their ability. Toddlers need less food than during their first year. It is common for toddlers to eat very small amounts, to be fussy about what they eat and to refuse to eat at all.

With right nutrition and healthy balanced diet plays an important role in growth. It sets foundation of lifelong eating habits and pattern.
