When you feel it’s right ,most lil tykes self ween do I guess it’s up to you . For me two was the limit no more boobies after that .
My daughter and I went 3 years. We cut way down between year 2 and 3 but neither of us were ready to fully stop. At 3 years, I had to stop due to needing to take some meds it was better to not pass to her.

I stopped when teeth came in. Good for you going strong. Do it when you feel is right.

Stop whenever you and your child are both ready. I’m currently still nursing my 4 year old and will be tandem nursing her and her brother in about 2 weeks when he’s born. I’m letting her self wean. The national weaning age is 7 years so do whatever you feel is right for you.

Whenever yall are ready❤️ even after my baby is done I’m probably going to pump here and there the rest of my life, I don’t ever want it to go away lol its freaking magic! My son and daughter had a nasty staph infection. Took 2 weeks of heavy antibiotics on my son…put some breast milk on my daughter’s and it cured it overnight. Next time my son is getting the breast milk treatment too

I nursed my last daughter for 15 months and weaned her due to her unbuttoning my blouse in public she was always wanting to nurse. Also I was working a job and had to pump for evening feedings. Wish I nursed longer for nutrition reasons.
In my opinion, once one or both of you is done, its time. It’s different for all moms and babies. I nursed my 1st for 6 months, my 2nd for 2 years, give or take, and my youngest 4.5 years.

I’d start to wean them off more because there is no need the more solid foods they eat. By three they should be off the breast completely.
When the cold and flu season wind down. Wean her slowly. At the end, they want to nurse for comfort or naps. I stopped at 2.5, but every child is different.
Stop whenever you feel it’s right, and talk it over with your doctor. Don’t let other people tell you what’s right and wrong when it comes to your child.

I feel like by you asking this question you are ready to stop but feel it might be the wrong choice?
It’s okay to stop now, personally I think two is a great age to transition, kiddo is becoming more independent, starting to be able to enjoy more table foods etc.
Great job for making it two years

I went 22 months. But after a year it was just at morning nap and bed, not in public after a year.
Whenever you want. I breastfeed my oldest daughter since she was born on 9/22/08 and stopped 4 months after her sister was born on 9/23/13, then I stopped breastfeeding the youngest on May/2019.

When your both ready, your body your child, by asking I feel you may be ready but as I say your body
Should of stop a long time ago. Slowly wean off, give her a good 3 mos to be completely off.

At the time you think to ask… “when should I stop breastfeeding my two year old?” Then it’s time.

It’s really between you and baby with any health issues considered. I started with a goal of nursing for a year. I ended up nursing my first until she was about 4 and my second for 18 months.

Whenever you’re ready!
Whenever YOU’RE ready
When ever you want… 
Whenever you want to stop
When you & your baby decide
Whenever you want. I wouldnt even listen to the advice from mommas in the U.S. They think everything is bad. If the rest of the world is doing it and doing fine then there probably isnt anything bad about it 
Many countries breastfeed way past 2 so I say go for it. (Also, breastfeeding doesnt JUST mean latched to the tit. Educate yourselves. Most older kids have breastmilk in a cup.)

Never judge a book by its cover, I had always talked rubbish about the spiritual healers because i was living a luxurious life with my husband and kids. I never believed that anyone can solve someone’s problems. I could rudely reply to the posts about the healers with insults little didi know that one day they will help me. It started when a strange disease attacked one of my kid for almost eight months. I visited all the hospitals in Europe but the doctors couldn’t see the disease. I went to pastors, Sheiks, Sisters, and priests but couldn’t see any change. I sold all of my properties and lost my business because I was charged lots of money. I went back to Zero. My husband was used to a luxurious life since he was coming from a rich family. He started losing interest in me, disrespected me, insulted me in our kids’ presence, all my in-laws hate me. I had no shoulder to cry on.I was left with no hope. The most heartbreaking part is when my husband started cheating on me with one of the member of Parliament which I won’t mention her name. I got depressed and tried to commit suicide until when my friend asked me to contact papa marere . I had lost hope and besides didn’t trust healers. I called them scammers. My friend used his cellphone and called him. he gave him a date to go to her office and on that date, my friend picked me very early in the morning and took me there. I explained everything to him. he asked us to go back and bring the sick kid and we did so. he cast his spells and after a few hours, my son was healed. And he also told me that my husband will return that he has settled that After a few weeks my husband came back home and apologized to me. he gave me a ring for my business and as I speak now am not complaining. I got back everything.+2348109805184 is his number for help. Email him via ( emezizispells@gmail. com ) he is INCREDIBLE.
Whenever you and baby feel like it. FUCK everyone else and their opinions on it. #NotYourBaby #NotYourBusiness

Shit the way its going with my youngest, she is a year, i feel like I’ll be nursing until 3 
Whenever you feel you both are done! There is no time limit, mama!
I nursed all 5 of my children, set of twins included in that … never went past the 4 months … took pacifier away at 4 months also … to each there own …but I think by the time they are pre school age it’s time … and this self weening issue is just mind boggling … who’s the parent ? … now the child? Get a grip people… I think breast is best for baby … but to be breastfeeding a 4 year old to 7 years old ( excluding special needs , preemies, ect) I mean a normal healthy child … your not doing this for your child anymore, your doing it for yourself … cause something is wrong with YOU… and you should go get help for that mindset… couldn’t even imagine breastfeeding a 4 year old never mind a 7 year old … it’s a fine line … motherhood is raising babies to adults … not trying to keep them babies forever by keeping them on a breast at such said ages…

I stopped at 2 because the twins would bite, claw and be very mean with me while I fed them and because we seriously needed to start sleeping more than 2 hours at a time. You do you. Your body, your baby, your choice!!

I stopped at 3 and 3 months when I had to get a surgical procedure and take antibiotics. Otherwise I think I would have kept going!
I nursed 1 for 10 months, 2 for 13 months, 3 for 18 months and my last is still nursing. He turned 2 last month. I don’t plan to continue forever but he is delayed and such a baby I can’t force him to stop yet.
Whenever YOU feel it’s time and right, no other person or mum knows what’s best and right for you and your little one and if they think that do tell them to get lost. No mum or child is the same.

Although I love breastfeeding for as long as I could it just so exhausting after so many kids. With my last I stopped at a year. If you want a good night sleep stop now it honestly won’t hurt much at that age it’s more about the bond and closeness once you say no for a couple nights they will realize it’s it and always replace with something else like a book or stuffy or during the day something else and of course always a sippy cup of water near at bedtime
I would think that, hypothetically, if you decided to bottle feed instead, you should probably take them off the breast at the same age that you would have taken them off the bottle.

Its your choice. I nurse my son till 16 mo and with my daughter 12mo so there is no right or wrong answer. Follow your heart and do what u like to feel comfortable with.
Whenever you choose. You could let your child self wean or do it when you feel you are ready to be done.
Stop whenever you want. I nursed our youngest until he was 2. He let me know when he wasn’t interested anymore.
You and your child will decide. Don’t feel pressure to do anything that isn’t right for the two of you
I stopped at 13 months. don’t let others tell you when to stop. do it when you feel the time is right

You stop when you and your baby are ready. He or she may just naturally wean themselves.
When he/she start refusing it. Not when you wanna stop

I stopped with my first because she wanted to, I stopped with my second when she only wanted it at bedtime as a pacifier
One of my children breastfed until he was almost 2 1/2
2 years is good as he might be going to nursery and starting to be more active
When you/your baby are ready.
When they stop asking for the boob?
Hey you could always continue to pump and they can get your milk that way. 7 is definitely to old to still be sucking on your mother breast that’s just my opinion.
Once it’s no longer mutually desired.
