There is no real set age when babies stop breastfeeding. It can be up to the mother, or the baby can ween his/herself.

Why is breastfeeding your baby important?
Everthing below is correct, but there is more. Breastfeeding is how a baby is SUPPOSED to eat. Formula should only be used in the rare case where a mother is unable to breastfeed (which is more rare than people think it is), in adoption cases, or in a situation where the mother dies. It also signinficantly reduces the chance or breast cancer in the mother, and possibly in the baby later on in life. There is NO reason not to breastfeed if you are alive, well, and keeping your baby. == == It is so much healthier than giving the baby formula. When a mother breastfeeds, she is passing on nutrients and giving the baby a better immune system by sharing antibodies. This sharing is called the baby's passive immune system. Breastfeeding also helps the mother lose some weight that she put during the pregnancy. It is estimated that breastfeeding burns around 500 calories.
