How long should you breastfeed?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) are clear: Babies should have only breast milk for the first 6 months, then continue breastfeeding with appropriate solid foods for at least the first year. WHO recommends continuing to age 2 and beyond. So there's medical consensus supporting breastfeeding into the second year; it can continue as long as mother and baby want. There's no hard upper limit.
