Can I delay weaning…

Baby Banda, am curious about one thing and would like the advice of other mothers. My baby is 19 weeks old. In December, we will be going on vacation and will be staying in a hotel room with her. She will be 6 months December 16th. Holiday begins December 25th. My question is can I delay weaning her so that I do not have to keep wondering what fresh foods to make her during the holiday and perhaps the hotel may not allow for us to make baby food in our room? I’d rather wean her when we get back from the holiday. I don’t want to give her packaged baby food, as I want her to develop a taste for healthy home made food. Please advice…

After 6 months, your baby’s energy and nutrient requirements increase and breast milk is not sufficient at this point.  It is important for your baby to start getting used to solids as delaying too long may cause feeding problems later
