CS The WHO advocate breastfeeding for two years and thereafter as long as mutually desired. If a mother wants to stop breastfeeding then she should get the support she needs to achieve this without pain. However there is no law, unwritten or otherwise that breastfeeding must stop by a certain time. There are only cultural pressures. This article is very misleading. All breastfed children do wean. The global median for weaning off the breast is about four years. Yes, FOUR years. 10/27/2009
Margie Very good ideas, and the only ones that worked for me. Having nursed for 3 years, I know it is hard to stop due to engorgement and such.
But, when the child accepts it, they are in shock, especially when they have the breast to go to sleep. Mom is tired, and so is baby, so it is easy.

SallyBee also want to share what helped me...when I was weaning and also while I returned to work, The Lama Bra was a quick discreet way to help control both engorgement and my milk supply. It did wonders for me and I would recommend to moms at home or at work...product is sold thru doctors and also through their website if you search for LaMa Bra 9/17/2007
