Opinions On Baby's Age For BF

Hi, I've been watching Youtube on mothers' breastfeeding their baby, and came across a video of a mom breastfeeding her child which is a 6 years old girl. The oldest I heard was this mother still breastfeeding her Primary 1 kid. I know breast milk is healthy, but what are your opinions on how old your baby should stop breastfeeding and must drink from a cup or bottle instead?

I think each mummy and child can decide on that. It’s a huge commitment to breastfeed for so many years. At the end of the day, as long as nobody’s harmed or stressed out by the decision of direct latching vs bottle vs cup, it’s fine:) For my first child, I set a target of 6 months, but in the end weaned her off latching at 10 months, and had enough stored bm till she was 1 year old. For my second child, my target is 12 months, but we’ll see where this goes (she’s 5 months now). Both of them were also trained to drink from the bottle by 4 months old, so my husband could help with some feeds.

If you keep up the supply, it’ll stay. But by then, the kid would be eating meals and snacks, and only sucking occasionally. So there won’t be a lot of milk.
