Most women b___st feed up to 18mo but me personally I will pull my 51/2 mo old off when he is anywhere from 9-12mo.... It depends how is biting is!!! And most women feed up to a year! I think a year is a good age to wean..

b___stmilk should be her primary nutrition for the first year. untill baby is a year old introducing solids is all about introducing new tastes and textures. feeding foods should be in ADDITION to nursing, not instead of.

from what I have heard from experts and read on-line there is no "correct" age to stop b___st feeding. It's so healthy for the child and mother that it's encouraged to continue bascially as long as you are able to. I just read that up to 2 years old is standard many places around the world and it has many many health benefits for both mommy and baby to do so. Minimum would be a year though.

I b___stfeed until 2 but I wanted to stop at 1, but he was too attached. but I must say in his 3 years of living he's only been sick once.
