EN: to wean (a child)
The process of convincing a baby that the all-you-can-eat milk buffet is permanently closed. To **magwalay** is a mom's bittersweet project of introducing the baby to the world of Cerelac and mashed potatoes. It's a baby's first 'move on' stage. Often involves more tears from the mom than the baby.
From 'mag-' (verb prefix) + 'walay', meaning separation, specifically in the context of weaning a child from breastfeeding.
Primarily used in the context of childcare and parenting.
