Up to what age it is desirable to breast-feed

There are expert opinions on breastfeeding, they are different, although they have a common recognition of the benefits of mother's milk:

• According to WHO standards, babies need to be fed milk for up to 2 years.
• Pediatricians say that the baby should be breastfed for up to 1 year, later the milk loses its protective properties.
• Feeding consultants offer to extend the period of feeding to 3 years.

As research has shown, milk really changes its composition not only for 2 years, but several times a day. Less useful it does not become this.

When can I stop feeding?

Despite recommendations, it is necessary to be guided byyourself. Not always a woman has milk, sometimes her mother is sick or separated from the baby. If we talk about proper feeding, when there is a choice, it is worth remembering how the children were fed in antiquity. Women put them to their chest for several years. It is best to focus on the natural process. Over time, the woman gradually stops lactation, and the child ceases to need a breast. If the cessation of feeding passed naturally - this is the ideal option. Often a young woman commits mistakes:

• Listens to public opinion or pays tribute to fashion;
• tries to plan weaning;
• afraid to spoil the figure;
• refers to fatigue or early termination of employment.

All this does not matter. It is impossible to know in advance how much you will need to keep this relationship with the baby. No one can feel it better than you. To restore the figure there are many ways, and going to work is easy to combine with the 2-3-times breast feeding of a grown-up consumer. Only the woman herself is able to determine how much to feed her baby with the breast. It is better to do this in tandem with the baby, given its characteristics and needs.
