CONCLUSION
Based on 8 articles found, the method used in weaning is divided into two methods namely
the Baby Led Weaning (BLW) and Traditional Weaning (TW) methods. In the process of
weaning, the psychological mother will usually tend to feel sad, anxious, broken because
she is not ready to wean her child. Factors influencing weaning include the level of parental
education, cultural norms and information from health educators. The literature gap in the
review of this article is that WHO recommends that mothers should wean when children are
2 years old, whereas in reality, the average weaning is done when the children are <2 years
old
