βBrat Little Mandela being temperamental because Mom is weaning him from milkβ describes a young monkey becoming upset or irritable when his mother begins reducing or stopping breastfeeding.
During weaning, a baby monkey may cry, cling to his mother, throw tantrums, or repeatedly try to nurse. This behavior is usually a normal part of development. The baby is adjusting to getting nutrition from other foods while also becoming more independent.
At the same time, the mother may encourage him to explore solid foods and spend more time away from nursing. Although the baby may seem angry or frustrated, weaning is an important natural stage of growing up. πβ€οΈ
