Weaning is the term that describes when a mother decides the time has come for her child to stop breastfeeding.
Weaning is the process of gradually introducing a human infant or other mammal into the adult diet while depriving it of breast milk. This process occurs only in mammals because only mammals produce milk. An infant is considered fully weaned when it can no longer be breastfed.
In some cultures, weaning proceeds by the parent feeding the infant with pre-chewed food and introducing continuous breastfeeding (a practice known as pre-chewing). This practice has been important throughout human history as it naturally provides children with a significantly enhanced source of protein, in addition to preventing iron deficiency.
However, in areas where the disease is prevalent, pre-chewed food from caregivers of lower socioeconomic status can transmit the disease to children.
