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.
