Weaning
SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENTInformation
Weaning as we know is a bitter sweet experience. It becomes stressful to mum to have to let go of this beautiful and precious bonding experience whilst baby does not want to.
Muslim mums in particular find these feelings amplifying as we reach the two year mark. In Islam this marks the end of the suckling period. However there is a difference of opinion and it is best to consult with ulema.
As always Mother’s Intuition strives to ensure that this transition is an easy one. We have developed a 3 day natural weaning protocol.
Our programme includes the following:
- 1 in-person or video call session outlying the process, as well as what is required.
- You have 3 day access to myself during the process.
- You are required to let me update me on your progress daily so that we can navigate any issues that may arise together.

What is Weaning
Weaning is the process of gradually introducing solid foods to an infant’s diet while reducing their dependence on breast milk or formula. It is typically started when the baby is around 6 months old, although this can vary depending on the individual baby’s development and needs. Weaning is an important step in a baby’s development as it helps them transition to a more varied and balanced diet that includes a wider range of nutrients.
There are several different approaches to weaning, and the best method will depend on the baby’s individual needs and preferences. Some parents choose to use purees or mashed foods to introduce new flavors and textures, while others opt for baby-led weaning, where the baby is offered small pieces of soft, finger-sized foods to feed themselves.
It is important to introduce new foods slowly and one at a time, to help identify any potential allergies or intolerances. It is also important to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding alongside the introduction of solid foods, as this will provide the baby with important nutrients and help maintain their immune system.
