not more than 4-6 months. it is a myth to breastfeed the child upto the age of 1 or 2. child needs more variety of food for further development after the age of 4-6, to start with fruit and vege. parents need to introduce mashed food to the babies from that point.

It can be up to 6 months.. It is not necessary that a child must be breast feed till the age of 2 to 3 years.. it all wrong. but 6 months is very necessary and if possible than mothers should take care of that

I agree with you multi talented indian.. Baby feeding can be up to 6 months minimum .. its all myth that breast feeding is required till 2 to 3 years of age.. its good for babies only for 6 months.. after that they can have cerelac and other eatables good for infants,,.

yes the breast feeding should be done till the baby reaches 6 months of age. it is mandatory that every women breast feeds their babies as there are some proteins and factors which are essential for growth of baby and they are available via the breast milk. it is very vital for the optimal growth of the baby so make sure breast feeding is done to every child.

Breast feeding is much important for infants. All kinds of immunoglobulin are present in breast milk only. It’s better to give for 6 months only. Breast feeding decreases the production of estrogen and ultimately it decreases chances of breast cancer
