What's your opinion about breastfeeding? I have a baby girl, she is four months old and i am still breastfeeding her. It would be great if i keep breastfeeding until she becomes six months old.

My baby girl is now almost 9 month years old and I still feeding her my milk from my body ( I can write word B... because is mature nature). Of course I giving her solid food I don't know when I stop doing this but maybe after 1 years. Milk from your body it the best thing what you can give your baby, you and of course your wallet :)

That becomes a problem for me sometimes. I do not know how to express my milk (*wink wink*) so I have to be around at all times in case the baby wants milk. My sister jokingly calls me the milk machine or the cow. Once she brought the baby out and had to cut short the trip because the baby cried for me. i could see that my sister was quite irritated and I had wished the baby would be out longer.

You can feed mother's milk to her as long as you can.That is good for her health and there is no equivalent to it.You shall continue it until she grows teeth and starts biting your nipples.Mothers of the past gave their kids until one and half years,normally.

I really feel this is up to each mother individually. I know that mothers milk is better for a baby than formula. Mom gives much more to her child.

best for you and your baby! nothing beats the milk coming from a mother for her baby so keep it up until you can even beyond six months.

[i][/i][b][/b]By 5 to six months you can start semi solid food. But it is not necessary that you must stop motherfeeding. Mothers milk is so precious, I gave my baby till one year. Some of them prefer to give till two or three years. But according to doctors advice before two years you can wean your child

You're doing the very best thing for your daughter. Study after study has confirmed the benefits to both mother and child. Keep up the great job and don't quit until you're both ready. Ideally, you'll make it to 12 months ... or even beyond, if it's what's right for you. Congratulations!
