how long should a woman breastfeed a child
Making the decision on when to stop breastfeeding is an important one. Exclusive breastfeeding (with no other food or drink) is recommended for around the first six months of a baby's life. After this, you can breastfeed alongside other foods for as long as you and your baby wish. This might be into his second year or beyond.
