The term weaning is derived from the Anglo-Saxon “wenian”, which means “to become accustomed to something different”. When your baby has stopped breastfeeding and gets all of his nutrition from other sources than breast milk, he/she is considered weaned. At present, the World Health Organisation recommends that all babies be breastfed or formula fed exclusively for six months before the introduction of solids. In the past, many babies were fed solid foods at very young ages. It is now believed that their bodies were unable to cope with the demands this placed on them; a dramatic increase in the incidence of allergies and food intolerance meant guidelines were reviewed and altered.
