Breastmilk after 6mth

I was told by my sis-in-law that i should stop feeding my LO breastmilk after he turns 6mth. She has 3 kids of her own; the oldest being 3.5yo. And because of this, my parents think she’s right and advised me to stop at 6mth also. What i read online was i could give my LO for as long as i could. Is the benefits really not there after 6mths? And i have plenty of frozen milk in my mini freezer, threw lots of bags to make way for new bags. It seems like i had been saving for nothing?

There are heaps of benefits for both you and baby the longer you can breastfeed, even into toddlerhood. Don't let anyone else influence you. you should nurse for as long as you feel is right.
