Don't rush it. That's a decision mothers and babies need to make for themselves. In the first six months breast milk is the only food they need. Aiming for twelve months breastfeeding, with solids as well, in the second half of the year, makes sense. However, many of the important protective factors in breast milk are effective with only three months exclusive breastfeeding, so some breastfeeding is definitely better than none.
Breastfed babies are very portable.
If you enjoy activities such as sporting events or camping you can take along the breastfed baby without any worries about having to boil water, disinfect bottles or carry enough formula. For occasions when the baby needs to be left at home, breast milk can be expressed and stored in the fridge or freezer and either the father or a baby-sitter can feed the baby.
