It depends upon woman to woman, some feed for 3 years, others for 6 months, some don't at all citing one reason or another. I feel. Once baby starts with semisolid at 6 months, the milk of mother cannot meet the demands of a growing baby and she gets weak too, specially if she's not taking calcium and enough milk plus other proteins. All of us want a healthy mother and baby.
