282 Weaning is not described in the Carakasamhitā, the reason may be that the majority of Indian mothers go on nursing the child for a long time, sometimes up to five years if no other child be born in the interval (S. Stevenson, 1971: 20). See on weaning: A.h.U.1.37–39; A.s.U.1.66–70; the subject is also dealt with in Gṛhyasūtras (see A. Kumar, 1994: 33).
