When to Stop Breastfeeding

I am looking for opinions on when it is ok to stop breastfeeding. I nursed my 1st child to 11 mo, second didn't work out so well, and was only able to nurse for 7 weeks. My third child is now 8 mo, and I would really like to be done. He takes a bottle fine when I pump, and has also had formula, and doesn't seem to mind it. Everytime I think about stopping, I have so much guilt. I think if I made it to 1 year, I would be ok with stopping, but I'm wondering if it is really that important or beneficial to keep nursing these last few...

My 1 Year Old Not Drinking Milk

Our daughter who is almost 13 months is not taking whole milk, lowfat milk....I still breastfeed her in the morning and in the evening for bedtime. But now that she needs the fat for brain development, she doesn't want to take cow's milk, not in a bottle or zippy cup. we have put a little bit of chocolate so that we trick her in to drinking and sometimes that backfires. any advice? she loves 1/2 and 1/2, as I tried giving her this at a restaurant that had the little 1/2 and 1/2 supplements. What to do????
