My oldest is nearly 30 and this is what my doctor advised back then as well.Ghost Rider wrote:From the CDC Website on breast feeding:
When should a baby start eating solid foods such as cereals, vegetables, and fruits?
Breast milk alone is sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months after birth
How long should a mother breastfeed?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mother and baby desire. The World Health Organization recommends continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond.

I see nothing wrong with breast feeding past a year and it's common in many cultures. It's my personal belief that sometime before a child starts kindergarten, he should probably be weaned though. lol.nadalfan wrote:There is no down side to breastfeeding beyond the first year, on the contrary

I can't claim to be an expert in this field, but breast feeding a 30-year-old is clearly beyond the pale.Nekochan wrote:My oldest is nearly 30 and this is what my doctor advised back then as well.Ghost Rider wrote: The World Health Organization recommends continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond.
