formula is bad after one year, many moms are told so is breast milk. When in fact breast milk is always going to be healthy for any human, no matter age. Nursing from mom will always help tooth and jaw development. And breatfeeding in general has no expiration date! We just need to get the mindset back to breast as the standard and artificial feeding as the secondary option. Then maybe the pressure would back off of moms to stop at one year or any other 'magic' number age. Tiffanie - posted on 09/30/2010 7 38 I always wondered why 12 months was the "magic number" what made breastmilk better for a baby at 12 months than 13 months..KWIM?? before I wanted to have kids I had never thought that kids could breasfeed past one...soo when I got pregnant my hubby said that I HAD to stop BFing whenever the kids could come and get the milk herself..well, aroung 7 or 8 months she would start pulling at my shirt when she wonted milk soooo I told DH to jump in a lake.. he is more ok with my EBFing now, but I can tell there are times when he wishes I would stop... he has been amazing and is more supportive now, so I dont blame him for wanting my body back:D plus our daughter is starting to show signs of weaning:( she is only nursing for nap/bed:( oh well, we hopefully will make it to 2!!
