Step 1
At least you can breastfeed for a year for the benefits of your infant.

Step 2
Or until the baby eats good with solid foods.

Step 3
It is up to you which one works the best both of you.
Even though breastfeeding is good for your baby but there's a suggested limit when to stop breastfeeding.
But it is really up to you.
You can breastfeed as long as you both want but the baby needs more solid foods to have a healthy growth.
If you can breastfeed up to two years maximum then it would be helpful between you and your baby to rest and relax more.
You can move and work without having your baby with you most of the times.
But some working mothers can still breastfeed by putting the milk in a container and refrigerate it until needed.
Breastfeeding is easy and cheap to raise a baby plus there's a strong bonding and connection with your kids when they grow up.
Do not be concern too much about your beauty.
Some new mom are afraid that their breast will not look firm and push up when they will breastfeed their baby.
Look the healthy benefits that your baby will get by breastfeeding.
You can save money and save your baby's health from getting sick.
At least you can breastfeed for a year for the benefits of your infant.
Or until the baby eats good with solid foods.
It is up to you which one works the best both of you.

on 8/24/2008 Your "how to" article states that there is a suggested limit for when to stop breastfeeding but I have never seen a limit recommend by any authoritative entity. I have seen minimum recommendations (such as a 1 year minimum recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and a 2 year minimum recommended by the World Health Organization), but minimums are not the same as maximums. Your article correctly states the benefits of breastfeeding but does not give recommendations for weaning, as the article title suggests (and as the poster "belovedyb" was hoping to find). I will email him. And for anyone looking for such information, I recommend checking www.kellymom.com (do a search for "weaning").

on 4/3/2008 The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends one year *minimum* of breastfeeding, while the World Health Organization recommends two. During the first year, solid food is supplemental and should never replace a feeding of breastmilk. Solids should not be offered before 6 months of age, and only if Baby meets the developmental milestones necessary for tolerating solid foods (disappearance of tongue-thrust reflex, ability to sit unassisted, etc.). There is no "suggested limit for when to stop breastfeeding" - all medical organizations recommend continuing past 1-2 years for as long as is mutually desired by mother and child.
