Unweaned

Unweaned refers to the state of being not yet weaned, which is the process of gradually introducing an infant or young animal to solid food and weaning them off their mother's milk. In human context, unweaned typically refers to infants who are not yet eating solid foods and are still dependent on breast milk or formula. This stage is crucial for the development of the infant's digestive system and overall health. The duration of the unweaned stage can vary depending on the individual and cultural practices, but it generally lasts until the child is around one year old. During this period, parents or caregivers play a significant role in ensuring the infant receives adequate nutrition and care. In the context of animals, unweaned refers to young animals that are still dependent on their mother for milk and care. The weaning process allows young animals to develop their own food sources and become independent.
