I had to stop when he was only 3 months, but I was aiming for 6. He was just hungry all the time and I started to go through post-partum depression, so I had to quit. Luckily he is a healthy, growing child.
My sis-in-law, however just weened her 3 yr old son from it before the new baby arrived. My stepdaughter's mother also fed her until she was 3. The drawback of feeding them for that long is that they are larger-sized (bigger-boned) later in life and have really bad growing pains. Also, they become very dependent and clingy. Maybe it's not true for all, but from what I have observed in different cases, the kids can be affected by it in one way or another. It's a risk you can take, but there is nothing wrong with it.
