I understand an older child that is eating a wide variety of foods and drinking cows/soy milk weaning themselves. What I don't get is saying a baby weaned themselves at 6 months, 9 months? Wouldn't the child starve?

Usually when someone refers to a baby weaning themselves I think they were most likely supplementing with formual and the baby chose not to b___stfeed anymore. That happened to a couple of my friends.

I was supplementing with formula, and at six months exactly, my baby would not feed from me anymore - he actually pushed hard away from my chest and pulled his head back as far as he could from me and screamed until i relented and gave him a bottle. Apparently babies may at times have "b___st refusal" where they will go off b___stfeeding for a couple of days, but my baby week by week started to refuse certain feeds, and I will still giving him the first morning feed, but on the last day of feeding he just refused it altogether, and has been perfectly happy since taking formula. It was more emotional and upsetting for me I think - feeling that I had been rejected.
