when should baby be weaned?

There's no single "right time" for such an important and personal decision. The general pediatric view is that babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, then continue nursing alongside solid foods.
Weaning (stopping breastfeeding) timing is entirely personal to you and your baby. The World Health Organization (WHO) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend continuing to breastfeed, if both parent and baby want to, until 2 years and beyond. In Turkey, many families complete this process between 1-2 years.
It's important that the weaning process moves slowly and is baby-led. The healthiest approach is to gradually drop one feeding at a time rather than stop suddenly. Usually, the bedtime or sleep-time feeding is the last to go. The right time is when both you and your baby are ready.
