"My name is Josie Minks and I'm a labor and delivery nurse and here to talk to you about how long to nurse a child. It is recommended to breast feed a baby for twenty minutes on each breast with a span of three to four hours between each feeding and then it's recommended to breast feed for as long as you can until the child either weens him or herself. Usually this can happen you know, at about a year, but it's just recommended to continue breast feeding for as long as you can and some women pose the question about going back to work, should you stop breast feeding at that point?
