This is a really interesting question.
My first response is: a couple of years. In my own experience and in observing other mothers, the weaning process seems to take years. Not days or weeks. Years.

There has been a lot of media regarding introducing solids, and when to wean children and other articles that imply that mothers should all be doing the same thing in raising their children.
Research strongly supports exclusive breastfeeding for 6mths (WHO guidelines are quite specific and say 180 days). At this point, introducing family foods whilst continuing primarily breastfeeding is recommended.
