depends on what kind of medical technology was available when you were growing up.
Most people in the US stop between 2-3 because of several factors....
1) the milk dried up
2) Teeth - having junior bite your nipple is NOT fun
3) School - kinda hard to bring junior to school if he's still suckling
4) society
5) medical technology - you don't need to worry about passing on as many immunizations through breast milk these days as you did say back in older times
6) Mom's comfort - sometimes being tied to the baby that long is taxing
