realistically, a child could receive benefits from mother's milk with the diet until 6 or 7.
Most kids ween themselves at about 18 months anyways...why a rush to get them off the boob before they are ready?
Are your kids breastfed or bottle fed?

I didn't say you should stop breast feeding them the moment teeth show up, I said we have a built-in mechanism to let you know it's time to give up the tit juice
Once you're two years old usually you have your first set of teeth. I would say that's a pretty good indication it's time to give it up.
I completely agree that breast feeding is the best thing to do with babies and I agree that it's a vital bonding experience. But allow me to give you another important bonding experience: potty training.
Changing diapers and wiping your kids' ass when they're little is an important bonding experience, yet nobody talks about that. Why? Because it's not as controversial as breast feeding, after all breasts are involved.
Would you suggest you keep wiping your kids' ass after they're three years old? After all, it's an exercise in trust. It's an intimate experience.
