In the USA, most mothers stop breastfeeding at one year. However, in most other countries, and also in The Bible days, mothers would stop breastfeeding their child after four years. This may seem strange, but it is the correct way to form a strong bond with your child, and for the child to grow up healthy and very smart, as breast milk is extremely good for the body.

What age do babies stop breastfeeding?

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

But every mother and baby are different.
