I'm currently breast feeding my 18 week old. I've got 4 other children who I've also breastfed and my aim has always been to breastfeed until they are 6 months of age but with my now 18 week old I'm really undecided on how long to breastfeed for.. Part of me wants to breastfeed him until he's 1 and the other part just to breastfeed until he's 6 months like my other kids were. I will feel guilty this time around not continuing till he's one and my husband is encouraging me to continue until he's one but I want to be able to go back to work soon as I really need to because I've always been a SAHM and I went a chance to work instead of watching my husband have a job, Social life and hobbies. So how long did you breast feed for and how beneficial is it after note age of 6 months?
