Why I’m Breastfeeding Our 4-Year Old – And In Public Too!

“Still breastfeeding your daughter? She’ll be breastfeeding until she’s 18!”

“Breastfeeding at this age? Haven’t you got something better to do?”

These are just some of the comments that I heard on my 4-year breastfeeding journey.

Yet, breastfeeding beyond infancy actually the norm, and not the exception to the norm.

But did you know that, according to a study, in the second year (12-23 months), 448 mL of breastmilk provides:

29% of energy requirements
43% of protein requirements
36% of calcium requirements
75% of vitamin A requirements
76% of folate requirements
94% of vitamin B12 requirements
60% of vitamin C requirements
The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends that breastfeeding continues throughout the first year of life and that:

“It has been estimated that a natural weaning age for humans is between two and seven years. Family physicians should be knowledgeable regarding the ongoing benefits to the child of extended breastfeeding, including continued immune protection, better social adjustment, and having a sustainable food source in times of emergency. The longer women breastfeed, the greater the decrease in their risk of breast cancer.”
