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.

Is it illegal and if yes what are the consequences for a mom to sell their minor child's excess diabetic testing supplies to feed the child?
I don't think it's illegal, maybe frowned upon. But a mother has to do what a mother has to do to feed her children. If someone doesn't like it, tell them to feed your children and you won't have too sell the supplies. Just make sure you don't run out for the sake of your child.
You are pregnant in 5 mounths Could you breast feed your baby girl of 1 year and 8 mounths?
More than likely, no. Your milk should not come completely in until the onset of labor. Attempting to express milk or feed another child can also cause early labor,something you certainly don't want at 5 months. When your baby gets here, you don't want you older child to want to feed on your breasts too. This can cause sibling jealousy, when baby is getting to eat, and big sis isn't. I personally wouldn't recommend trying it.
