My neighbor breastfed her son until he was three and a half years old. Isn't that extreme?

I think 3 1/2 is extreme, but I know many women who breast fed well into the 2nd year.

Nope. The average in the world is five years. It's just that our "civilized" society gets uptight about it.

Breast milk has an amazing composition! It helps the synapses of the child's brain develop better and earlier, has awesome antibacterial properties, and provides just the right amount of minerals and vitamins that the child needs. God sure new what He was doing!
