is 2 years, we're still nursing at 14 months and will decide at 2 years if we want to wean or keep going. I haven't really had any negative comments about nursing her this long. My MIL will occasionally ask me how long I'm going to keep nursing and I just politely say "I'm not sure, we're just going to see how it goes." and let that be that. The world health organization actually recommends 2 years minimum and there is movement to try and get the American academy of pediatrics on board with 2 years also. The worldwide average for nursing is 7 years. Tamra - posted on 10/01/2010 8 34 I knew I would BF at least one year. My daughter is one now and I am fine with letting her wean herself. I'm only reconsidering now so that I have a better chance at getting pregnant with my second. Did you know that Biblically children were weaned around 2?
