Wean babies from milk by age one

Breastfeeding and milk should be phased out by age one, with experts suggesting a gradual weaning process. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for up to two years, but individual circumstances like daycare enrollment or maternal health may necessitate earlier cessation. Bottle-feeding should ideally transition to cups around age one to prevent dental issues. Parents can choose between "weaning" (setting a firm end date) or "gradual weaning" (allowing the child to decide when to stop), with both methods being equally common among families.
