When is the right time to stop breastfeeding?

For as long as you and the child want. There is no limit to when you have to stop. I’ve read articles where people have breastfed their kids until they were 8 years old

@hcurry97 gosh I dont plan on doing it for that long lol!

@ashleynichole I don't know oyou read any of my other comments but I am very much in favour of kids self-weining and with great I think that extended breast ing is good too.. Of course I also that adult breast feeding and people in general using human milk instead of cow milk.. Lol.. I hope that doesn't shock you.. What are your thoughts?

@wunderluv 🙄

@wunderluv Children grow up. You have to let them. They bite because they’re supposed to be eating foods they can [b]chew[/b].

@bijouxbroussard I do agree with but I think that all extra nutrients and transfered real-time immune system support can't or shouldn't be overlooked plus the bonding that can't be done in any other way

@wunderluv I don’t think it helps a child to refuse to let them grow up and develop.The bonding begins in the womb. They begin teething, indicating it’s time for them to start being weened, in favor of food that they can chew, which helps their teeth develop. The first year and a half should suffice.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit i respect your opinion,however,humbly disagree. As a father of two kids (who has been very involved in their lives from conception untill now) and coming from a very large family (over 40 cousins) with tons of doctors,teachers in the family (including my own mom and dad) and my self studying child developmental Psychology. I have witnessed the miracles of breastfed babies as well kids raised on bottles (formula)...there is sure a difference. Among twins.

The long term effect i mentioned is the health benifits a child has in their first 6 months specially and then those last life time having a better base than a formula.

Formula is important for those babies who unfortunately can not have mothers milk for various reasons. I will not discount,however,a formula can not be superior to mothers milk,it will always be inferior as compared to mothers milk.

Same is for bond,in early first few months from birth boob has an amazing bond between mother and child.

One can observe that. I have seen it time over time. I do agree that a life time bond does not form just by the boob alone,with all the factors you mention play a part.

@aaaabbbb I’m glad we can both agree that how we feed a baby in comparison to everything else we provide in the life isn’t much.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit lol. I am glad too. There is soo much in life that we cannot control. I often wonder should some people be allowed to have kids? Lol

Anways. Thank you for your contribution.
