According to my older family members, children will stop drinking your milk when they are too old for breast feeding, and if they stop drinking, the milk will stop flowing, I read that online.
A 6 year old should not be breastfeeding they have been at school for about a year. I'm no expert but you should stop breastfeeding at 4 at the latest.
My daughter never breastfed a baby before because she has never had a baby, and she is only 14. So I can't answer when my child should stop breastfeeding.
Cows milk is hard on a babies belly and doesn't have much nutrition compared to breastmilk and formula. Even after breastfeeding my son for two years I put him on toddler formula. My peds didn't have a problem with this
6 is way too old, especially for a boy. when he starts forming the ability to form lasting memories it is dangerous as it might make him violent later in life
It's actually more important for boys to breastfeed so they know how to make connections with women later on in life. Without breastfeeding they can have attachment issues
Everything can be sexual. Bottle feeding is quite dangerous and people develop all sorts of complex health challenges simply because they were bottle fed. As well as later imbalances from feeding on one boob and not both equally. But do you know another reason besides being unhealthy, why bottles shouldn't be used? Because they're sexual. There are the male masturbator devices, and boys may start using bottles to masturbate.
I'm just being silly but don't say breastfeeding at any age is wrong. I've known of multiple people who were fed beyond 6 and they didn't become perverts or anything.

Before they start kindergarten seems like a good age.

I didn't think this was an issue. I thought eventually all creatures in the animal kingdom started eating regular food naturally.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/dspjwGhrVeUWhen ever Mom and child are ready to stop. Breast milk is very nourishing for a child of any age.
Probably 3. That’s what I would do but every child is different and every parent is different too.
By the age of two, most children should be on solid food, in which case breastfeeding should no longer be needed, except in unusual situations.

1-2 years. If the child is eating real food, I don’t see any reason to continue breastfeeding past that.
in my opinion, there has to be a titty cut-off point before it gets too weird.
However, if scientist say six, then it's all good.

Yes. Sarcasm. Hehe.
You are only bottle fed until 1. Why would you breastfeed beyond that? Certainly not beyond 18 months.
Because it's healthy to and no bottle fed babies sometimes keep them until they are 2 or 3 depending when they wanna give up the bottle
That isn't what a pediatrician would recommend. They switch to cow's milk at a year from formula.

I would think that they should be weened from the breast before going to school!
It is totally a mother's decision. She knows her child best and what is best for her child..
I can remember being 4 years old. I think that being old enough to remember breastfeeding is too old to do it.
The first year is the more critical, but should be weaned by 2 years old. That way, it gives daddy a turn at the teat.
Daddy and baby can share

i dunno about that but if he's still doing it at 6 he will grow sexually frustrated the memory of his mother
I don't think so boobs aren't sexual anyways. They are for babies
they're still inherently sexual

3 years old, or a year before you want your next child.
Since you're only pragent for 9 months there's no reason not to give birth at least annually.
EnglishEuropean, good point, I suppose then you should just nurse both children until the youngest is three.
Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about!
Once a kid is able to chew their own food, they’re done.
I would say at or around 2, or once they have teeth coming in and can eat solids. I think extending it out can cause emotional development issues.
