It's a personal thing. If it still feels right, keep doing it, but make sure you're doing it for the good of your child and not for your own satisfaction. Nutritionally, there is no added benefit to breastfeeding a child once they have started on solids, which is usually sometime from 6 months on. I'd be a bit wierded out if my kid was able to walk up to me and ask me for a feed, but social norms are different wherever you go - maybe that's fine for you. I'll be quitting at 6 months, but I'll need to go back to work. I wouldn't want to do it after a year - I think the kid needs to become less mum-orientated and more independent at that stage.
When your kid is old enough to say "Hey mom, gimme some boob!"
My grandmother had to use tabasco sauce and ashes to get my father to stop...at age 3, allegedly!!!
If the child is old enough to ask for it, time to start the switch.....
I think that 2 or 3 should be the limit. I think it's great that you breast feed your baby. I have read great things about how breast feeding longer can greatly benefit your child and you.=)
way too old
I have a week, how do I get my 1yr old to drink cow's milk? She has been strictly breastfed.
