Actually, in eutrope, lots of women nurse well into preschool years, but 8 ?!?!?!??!

I saw some scandinavian woman in IKEA nursing what looked to be about a 5 year old...

As to the 6 months, some women prefer to nurse till they can go straight to milk (10-12 mos?)

American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement on Breastfeeding:

Exclusive breastfeeding is ideal nutrition and sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months after birth.
