I have 3 kiddos. 1st I pumped till he was 6 months. 2nd breastfed till 2 and pumped milk for awhile after. 3rd I'm on my 8th month of breastfeeding him. Would have gone longer if I could but extended breastfeeding isn't for me. But I def support those that do it
6 seems way too old. That's a first grader. I have each of my kids 12 months. After that, the health benefits are not so prominent. Teeth or twelve months seems sufficient, but it's really up to the parents.
I'm not sure. I think I stopped getting breastfed at around 1 or 1.5 years old. Maybe then, I think that's the time. Any older would probably be strange seeing as I already had my teeth and could digest normal cow's milk.
Probably till 3 or 4 at the most but normally they stop at 2 when they would normally be off formula and having food. This reminds me of the movie “Grown Ups”, lol, the kid was 6 I think
Parents who breastfeeds their kid until 6 years old is a good indicator that this parent is not in her right mind and will not be a good parent. The kid will be babied all the way until adult life and will struggle to be independent on their own.
About a year to 18 mos. After that it seems to be a bit strange! I mean come-on, that kid on Game of Thrones (with the moon door) was maybe 10 and he was still being breastfeeding? Ewwww!
Okay if that worked for you, what’s wrong with it… when I said strange, I used the example of a 10 year old! I never said a word about age 2. I hate when people ask questions and if I don’t answer exactly the way they want me too, I’M AN ASSHOLE SOMEHOW? Perhaps I should have said VERY MUCH PAST 18mos. But I figured by adding in a TEN year old as the exemplar for strange, people would understand what I meant… but this is GaG, so of course it doesn’t matter!
In Ireland mothers usually stop brestfeeding when they return to work after maternal leave, as is quite hard to stay dry while they're full and start leaking
never it's good bond and in most it stops the next one coming along to quickly me i'm 67 and still like it

I would Sit next to her while she’s Breastfeeding. Plus if I did that she couldn’t get Uncomfortable anyways. Like uhh hey police man I had my Boobs Out so my baby could Play with and suck my Titty and this man sat next to me. Officer 👮♂️: so you Did indecent Exposure thanks for admitting. Hey John get this lady booked we will get her on the Sex offender list.

I guess the age of 3 is good.
What about you? How old is your child and what age did you feed your child?

As long as possible and they both want. I imagine working or not working and type of job can impact boob availability
i say no more than 3-4 yo.
I stopped nursing my 4yo when she was just 3yo
i am still nursing my 2yo and 11 month old girls
For me I'll prob stop breastfeeding when they're 1 maybe 1 1/2 but I'll still give them the breast milk via bottle or sippy cup
By the time they go to school is really the only suggestion I have. Mostly because of the dependancy
Until they are able to eat their own foods and drinks.
That's kind of tricky since they start solid foods around 6 month but still need breastmilk
Hm good point. Maybe when their teeth are mostly in. Like between 2 - 3.
You figure out what is best between you and your child
My kids self weened. It’s better for their mental health that way.
4. That's when my mom fully weened us off. I'll be sticking to that

I breastfed my 2nd son till he was 2 and a little past since I pumped for him. It wasn't strange at all

It up to mother and kid.
it’s no one’s decision and no one should judge.
I don’t mind even if mom is breastfeeding older then 6 yr old
I always breastfeed as long as kid wants to
Teeth would seem to complicate matters, but all kids are different. I’d say when they are willing to tolerate solid food.
Teeth aren't to big of a issue unless they bite and that can usually be stopped
Fair enough, I know this isn’t my lane so I’ll take your word for it.
1 1/2 years to 2 .. but every one is different right.
