Hi,
When should I stop breastfeeding my son? He is 16 months old now, but still I feed him once in the night. Is it okay? People say you should feed till he is 3 yrs old. Is that correct?
Mother replied. Pallo -

16 months is great, I give you a lot of great for sticking with it for so long. KUDOS to you!!!

But I think it is time you wean your baby off. If he is used to the bottle during the day then it won't be difficult at night. Try it, just be persistant. 3 years is a long time and not necessary. Your baby is taken a lot of nutrition and dedication from your nursing. Right now all he is getting is comfort for the feeling of you holding him.

Good luck. Swati replied.
3 Years OLD! Are these people NUTS or what? You'll never get your kid off you. Now is the right time to start weaning your baby. Already you are going to experience some crying and resistance - if you wait till your kid is 3 years old then God forbid. Studies also reveal that the first 9 months is when the child gets maximum nutrition out of mothers milk but 16 months is very good. Now you wean yourself off first.
