Babies transitioning into the infant stage is amazing; watching them develop and grow into their features. 

However, as the saying goes, every child is different, parents have to experiment with different techniques when it comes to getting their kids through the growing stages. 

One of the things is weaning. 

Getting your child off mother's milk, formula or the like can be a tricky affair and is just one of the feats that parents have to achieve.

A mother who decided to try an unconventional method to get her kid off the bottle posted her experience on TikTok. Let's just say it was quite significant to Africans as a whole. 

In the video, we see the little boy holding a milk bottle that has chicken feet attached to it.

As mothers, it is somewhat more difficult for us to commit to the weaning process. 

Sometimes when we see our babies crying, there is this part of us that wants to just cave and give them what they want. But what is that teaching our kids? 

So, to see this mom try an unconventional method of getting her son off his bottle was quite interesting. 

But, sadly, it did not work.

Mom revealed that he was only drinking the milk and refused to eat food. What we can say for sure is that it's always tough in the beginning, but stay on course and you will find it to be worth it.
