The general recommendation from most health organizations is to exclusively nurse your baby for a minimum of six months. After that, other foods may be given to your child. Those recommendations are just the minimum. To give your baby the very best, breastfeeding should continue well past the baby's first birthday. The longer you nurse, the greater good you are doing for the child. And the positive benefits also extend to the nursing mother. Both in terms of health and emotional benefits.
