Should a child be breast feed until the age of 4?
As therapists this question is really out of our realm of
expertise. I would say that the age at which a mother decides to
wean her child is a personal preference. Lactation consultants seem
to agree that breast feeding for extended periods is healthy,
although past age 6 months is not designed to be the sole source of
food and nutrition for a child.
Breast milk provides children with vitamins, calories and other
health benefits. Many older children nurse only at night and nurse
much more infrequently than infants. Nursing is a source of comfort
and closeness for mothers and children, but again the decision of
when to stop nursing is the decision of the mother.
