The ongoing debate on the optimal duration of breastfeeding in high-income countries is challenging. The decision to continue breastfeedingbeyond the introduction of solids according to WHO indications involves multifaceted considerations, such as nutritional needs, psychological factors and cultural influences, given the growing number of immigrants.

A personalised and gradual approach is suggested, guided by informed decisions and a supportive network.
