This brochure defines and outlines the importance of weaning a child and teaching the child how to drink from a cup. It discusses negative health outcomes from delayed weaning, such as tooth decay, ear infections, increased resistance to change with age, and reduced appetite for solid food. It also outlines methods to make the weaning process easier for the mother and the child. The brochure was developed with low-literacy criteria for parents and caregivers in the Massachusetts WIC/MCH programs by the Massachusetts WIC Nutrition Education Task Force and was field-tested by WIC program nutritionists.
