Breastfeeding is best for babies upto 2 years old... and beyond! This is relatively a long and ever challenging time for moms (& dads) as compared to current statistics (80% of moms stop breastfeeding on their 2nd month). The minimum requirement of WHO is 6 months, to complete baby's antibodies for childhood diseases immuniy. So there still is that 4 months questionable. Why do mommies stop? Mostly when they need to go back to work...or maybe baby got nipple confusion and preferred the bottle...or wrong advice from a professional... mostly though, this is because they just need to be able to ask their questions and get practical answer.
