How long to breastfeed

The dates listed below are approximate. You are the best judge of when your baby is ready for the next step in the list. Just watch your baby!

The first few days: benefits of colostrum
The first few months: perfect food, perfect preventive medicine
Two to six months (the "reward period"): comfort, security, nutrition, health
Six months to one year: Beginning solids; nursing more and more for comfort, security, and health, gradually less and less for nutrition.
The second year: comfort, security, health
The third year and beyond: a cherished memory
