Breastfeeding... how much is too much?

You CANNOT get the same nutrients in food that is in breastmilk. That is a FACT. Breastmilk contains stem cells, antibodies, and hundreds of other things NOT found in food.

No matter how much you want it to be more about the mother then the child, it isn't. Believe me, it isn't. :D

Breast feeding is always the best!
I found that at 1 my sons were getting teeth, OUCH! So that's when it stopped

My first was 16 months and my second was 35 months and I think anything up to about age 5 or 6 is perfectly fine. Really my children were taught to be polite about it from the very beginning and NEVER just walked up and lifted my shirt! Once they hit about 20 months or so it was rarely asked for outside the home either.

then i hope you put breastmilk on your cereal. cause if its the greatest thing ever, we should all be drinking it forever. and high IQ, low obesity, secure attachment, these things dont come from breastfeeding. any parent can have a child like this, breastmilk or formula. THATS the fallacy of breastmilk. that its the magic, end all be all of child development.

I feel uncomfortable breast feeding more then 2 years but have no problem with a mom breast feeding any age child whenever or however she feels is right for her child

I do not believe that there is such a thing as "self weaning" before 12 months.

Oh I think if the child is going to Kindergaderen and needs a little nip to nap it is time to ween for sure.
I have never really thought about it.

My first ds weaned at almost 18 months, only bc I was 3 months pregnant and dried up. Ds2 is 9 months and I will be stopping when HE wants to. My cut off is at LEAST two years according to the W.H.O.'s guidelines.

past one year old is too much.
