Question

Untill what age if a mom breast feed their baby?

Answer 1

Most pediatricians recommend you breast feed for the first year but anything is better than nothing! (Try to at least do the first 3) I breast-fed until my daughter was 14 months. Longer than I wanted but she weaned when she was ready.  

Answer 2

11 or 12 years

Answer 3

until what age.....what?

You usually stop breastfeeding by 1 year of age.

Answer 4

Experts recommend breastfeeding for at least a year.  But like others said, anything is better than nothing.  

Answer 5

Depends on the mom. Some people nurse for 6 months; some for several years. Some people think it's "weird" to nurse once the baby starts solids (not sure why); and on the other hand, I worked with a woman who was still nursing her 5 year old. (Not a choice I'd have made, but that's just me...)

My daughter was exclusively breastfeed until she was 6 months old; then continued to nurse regularly during the day until she was about 13 months old... she gradually weaned herself during the day by 16 months, and was done with nursing at night as well around 2.5.

Answer 8

Answer 9

The ideal time is 15 to 18 months by which time the baby would have been able to develop its immune

system well.Mother's milk besides providing the requisite nourishment and nutrients to the baby also provides the immunogens.

You should breast feed until the get their first tooth. They will be strong and healthy. And, you don''t want them to chew through your breast. It happened to a friend of mine.

3 yrs

Answer 12

i stop breast feeding with my first kid at 9 1/2 months and my second is 10 1/2 months.  

Answer 13

6 month is the time where absolute breast feeding is reccomeneded, means only breast feeding nothing else, after that weaning start which means addition of supplementary foods apart from breast feeding, Prolongation of breast feeding not only is helpful for baby but also for mother so 1-1.5 yr should be the time period for breast feeding out of which 1st month absolute breast feeding.

Answer 14

I'd say 12-18 months max and then they can get the nutrients that they need from regular milk and vitamins

Answer 15

may be one and a half or two yrs.

Answer 16

6 weeks to 6 months.

Answer 17

It depends....Feed baby as long as u can....Its the basic factor of ur baby's health......Its the basis for immunity, resistance and health. If u are not working then continue feeding till 1 1/2 or 2 years...Dont stop at 6 months.....................................

But there are somecases where we are forced to stop feeding, like lack of milk, any disease ect...if u r perfectly alright, then continue feeding till ur baby bcom 2 yeal old.
