For both mother and child to receive the variety of proven health benefits, the World Health “Organization (WHO) recommends mothers breastfeed their children up to 2 years of age and beyond. Due to social stigmas, breastfeeding older children (past one year of age) is often considered taboo and therefore done behind closed doors.
It is important to understanding the health and emotional benefits for both mom and child when breastfeeding is continued beyond the first year. This is the first step in breaking down the barriers that prevent mom from continuing to breastfeed. If you and your infant are enjoying the breastfeeding experience, then by all means continue!”
My thoughts: I am enjoying the experience, I prefer my little to self wean, formula is not for me, I am on a budget and mommy’s milk is a whole cheaper.
