Weaning Assessment Tools

Weaning assessment tools are methods or criteria used to evaluate whether a baby is ready to transition from breastfeeding or formula to solid foods. These tools consider factors like the infant's age, ability to sit up independently, interest in food, and readiness to chew. The goal is to ensure a smooth and safe transition, minimizing risks of choking or nutritional deficiencies. Pediatricians or nutritionists often use these assessments to guide parents in introducing solids at the right time, promoting healthy eating habits from an early age.
