There is no real set age when babies stop breastfeeding. It can be up to the mother, or the baby can ween his/herself. In my personal opinion, I would stop breastfeeding when the baby can eat solid food, and/or drink out of a cup. Or maybe even when he or she can say that they are thirsty. But every mother and baby are different.

At what age do stop breast feeding a baby?
7 years: The anthropologically normal age to stop breastfeeding is round about age 7. Hence the phrase "milk teeth" and the fact that children start to loose their milk teeth at about that age. The average age of weaning from the breast worldwide is about 4 years; when you consider how many babies in western countries are weaned very, very early, that means an awful lot of children are breastfed for much longer than 4 years. The WHO advises breastfeeding for at least 2 years and for as long after that as necessary for the health and happiness of both mother and baby.

When is a child too old to breast feed them?
The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for AT LEAST 6 months and thereafter to continue breastfeeding alongside appropriate complimentary foods at least until the age of 2 and thereafter for as long as both the baby and mother wish to continue. The notion that children should stop when they have teeth is completely fallacious, as babies commonly break teeth by even three months or sometimes even earlier - a time when all medical organizations in the world recommend EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding. The world-wide average age of breastfeeding cessation is 4 ½ years. Continued breastfeeding will boost a child's immunity, until the child's immune system is fully developed, around the age of 6 years. There are significant health risks associated with NOT breastfeeding.
