    When the child is old enough to request what flavor breastmilk they want based on your diet. :-)

    I dont see anything "wrong" with it. If any thing, its beautifull. Its a bonding experience using love as its primary force. But I do believe that it would make more sense to reduce the amount of feedings as the child gets older. You know? because the child would not need as much milk because of his or her body developing and becoming more mature.
    I hope this helps.
    I love breast feeding. : )

    If the child can unbutton their mothers shirt to breastfeed they are too old.
    (I saw that once and even as a former breastfeeding mom I was put off by it)

    His Lordship... has left

    When you feel uncomfortable with it. It is something the mom and child have to figure out together. When either one wants to stop, that is the time to stop I would think. But, wtf do I know about it?

    Why should an age make it weird? There will come a time the child won't want to breastfeed. I believe I read something about a 13 yrs old boy still breastfeeding. I don't know if he was disabled or what the situation was.
