I breastfed until I was almost six years old.. almost everybody I know either didn't breastfeed at all or stopped when they were about one year old. Is this normal?

  • Hell I breast fed until I was 12 years old. Sounds normal to me.

  • 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

  • I voted: No, it's not normal, but then I looked it up and the internet said that babies tend to wean between ages 2.5 to 7, so I guess it is normal.

  • In some cultures it's very normal and the age is sometimes older. Breast milk is the best for the young so your mum probably did the right thing

  • I would like for you to just reword this whole thing...

  • Unusual, but not what I'd consider abnormal
