The WHO recommend starting solids at 6 months of age, but recommend continuing to breastfeed until at least 2 years of age, but longer if possible.
I take the point that 8 is quite old to still be breastfeeding, but you need to do more research if you think it should be stopped as soon as they are fully established on solids. That goes against the advice of pretty much every reputable health organisation in the world.
