Question

pump instead once they get older? What are your thoughts" />

Answer

I honestly think it's up to the mom, I personally would stop after they grow some teeth hahahaha, I refuse to get my nipples bitten!

Answer

I breastfed until my first was 16 months And then until my second was 2. Its whatever you and baby are comfortable with cause other people's opinions don't matter at all

Answer

Whenever mother and child want to stop. It's not anyone else's business otherwise.

Answer

I breastfed my oldest for 2 yrs my second for 1 ( I had to go back to work) and my third for 3 yrs.

Answer

I think it's weird cause they're starting school so they're supposed to begin the first step of independence, be obedient without mom or dad at their side and make friends on their own. It also seems old to be drinking from a bottle. Their potty trained and in school and learning social skills, but they can't drink from a cup or lay off moms boob, I don't think it's right, they need to start being their own people at that point.

Answer

It's up to the nursing dyad. We've been nursing for 16 months and it works for us.

The world health organization recommends two years of available breast milk, and I won't cut off my son until then. If he self weans before then I won't stop him. I don't know if I will stop him at two years. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, I'm not going to make a decision until I feel like it.

Answer

I personally think whenever the child self-weans is the appropriate age.

Answer

Do what works for you. I was only able to breastfeed for three months because I had to go back to work and lacked the time to pump.

Answer

My personal preference would be one year. It feels like an appropriate weaning age.

Answer

You can breastfeed as long as you feel comfortable
