YES: 1 year is a logical time to wean off and get on with your adulthood.

Yes: Certainly now is a good time to focus on diet and working out. This doesn't mean you should stop breastfeeding.The American Academy of Pediatrics advises nursing at least 1 year but the WHO and UNICEF advise 2 years or longer.As your baby eats more solids he'll rely less on nursing but it still has benefits. Continue as long as he's interested and it works for you. See http://tinyurl.com/ndn4xcq
