I had this young teacher at school tell me "i think it'd be nice to bf until about 9 months"WTF?? She's got no kids needless to say! I pointed out that if you feed until at least one you never need use formula or bottles and its much easier as well as healthier.
I have had a few friends surprised that I didn't stop at 1. One lady said but that means you can't go away overnight without him. I said where the heck would I go and who would I leave him with anyway!!!
