In ancient times, humans were some times still nursing till 4-5 years of age. Image that most of the food was often rotten and the water loaded with parasites, nursing longer ensured more surviving children.
Once beer and wine were discovered it was often drank more than water because it was 'safe'.

In ancient times...
I know people still like that today. It depends on culture. People who come from poverty today nurse their children longer today, because at least they get sure, safe food.
