Question QUESTION: my baby is 22 months old and he is not quitting breast feeding what should i do ?sometimes it is so embarrassing when we go to public place and he pulls up my t-shirt for milk.till what time 2 years or more) milk will come from breast.
ANSWER: Hi Manmeet,
You will produce milk for as long as your baby feeds. This can be years.
At this age I would encourage him to not feed in public, and to keep milk for when you are at home. I presume he drinks water etc as well. From this age if you continue feeding you can quite well establish ground rules such as this.
I hope that helps
love

QUESTION: what do mean by establishing ground rules
Answer I simply mean explaining to your son that he can nurse at home, but that he is not to lift your top in public.
Reinforce that milk is a "at home" thing from now, and he will soon get it. You just have to stick to it and be consistent if that is what you want.
