Actually breastfeeding is only extremely useful to the child during the initial stages after birth..Its so because the milk produced by the mother is highly rich in Colostrum i.e IGg which is exceptionally essential for the young one's nutrition. So it is not recommended that breastfeeding should be continued after 8-10 months bcs by that time the child will get the external nutrition 4 its survival..:)

WHO reccomends breastfeeding exclusively upto 6 months. But afterthat it can be continued upto 2 years of life (not necessary). Breastfeeding after 1 year of age is considered as extended breastfeeding
