Sharon, it depends. Babies who regularly nurse to sleep tend to keep on longer because it's as much for comfort as for food.

My first weaned himself at 6 mo - never went well and he was more interested in real food than nursing, only found out years later it was his adenoid blocking his ability to breathe well while nursing. Nursing #2 still about 3x per day, she's…

For mothers who have had breast surgery, there is a wonderful site called bfar.org. Most mothers do have to supplement but are able to produce some milk and have a satisfying nursing relationship.

I have 4 kids, bli ayin hara. I breastfed #1 And #2 for 19 months, and #3 practically weaned herself at 15 months. #s 2 and 3 weaned because I was already expecting another baby and was exhausted and starting to dry up. I think stopping was as hard…

I nursed for 10 months. I intended to keep nursing indefinitely, like years. However, I surprised myself when I found I was ready to stop nursing. He was eating solid food, and it was only two months of formula until I could switch to regular milk.…
