The American Academy of Family Physicians¹, the American College of Obstetrics/Gynecology², and the World Health Organization³ all recommend that infants exclusively breastfeed for 6 months. This means that no other foods, water, or formula should be offered to infants younger than 6 months. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for around 6 months. After 6 months breastfeeding should continue, with the introduction of appropriate complementary foods, through at least 1-2 years and beyond. It should be considered normal and acceptable for mothers to breastfeed their children until two years and beyond for the many nutritional, immunologic and developmental benefits³. There is no evidence indicating an age at which breastfeeding should cease.
