What is the best way to wean a baby before he turns one?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Breastfeeding: I will not wean the baby before the age of age. The american academy of pediatrics recommends to continue breastfeeding till the first birthday and possible after the first birthday if the child and the mother desire.

Breastfeeding: Can wean one feeding at a time. Alternate feeds. If possible, can wean to cup; if not, wean to bottle.
