The World Health organization recommends breastfeeding until 24 months or longer if mutually agreeable.Also the average age of weaning across the globe is 4.2yrs. The benefits of breast milk for immunity still continue as well as toddlers still get about a significant amount of nutrition from BMilk. Here is the big thing for mom though, latches change with every tooth and need some time to adjust. Blood can happen so the best thing you can do is keep nursing, Work on the latch, if he seems distracted try a dark quiet place with little noise. using an ice ring, clove oil, teething tablets or camilla before nursing can help significantly because then he won't be trying to teeth on you. If it is a top tooth, you can work at positions that make sure that he chin is jutting into the breast, also and this worked well for me and Betty, Take a hand and gently but firmly press your palm onto their forehead while nursing. This helps lift top teeth up so there is little to no pressure on the nipple from it.<br /><br />If you really want to wean the best way is to cut out 1 feeding at a time for a few weeks. Then another, then another and eventually you will stop producing.
