Question
my son is 16 months old.he is still having breast feeding.is it advisable at this stage?
because of BF he is not having food much.
Yes, it is advisable. Babies wean naturally between 3 and 5 years of age. He will get much of what he needs through the milk. When he is hungry for other foods let him but nursing is a good thing.
I hope that helped!
