I think it depends on when mom is done and when baby is done. Some babies decide that they are done with breastfeeding as soon as they get comfortable with a sippy cup. They are just too much on the move to stay still to breastfeed. I've heard various reasons moms choose to stop. One mom I knew wanted to start taking meds again for her own migraines. She couldn't do that, while breastfeeding. Another mom I knew just felt done. All the above are good reasons to wean from breastfeeding.
The important thing is that you and your child need to decide when to end breastfeeding. It's not for anyone else to decide.

My sister is at that point right now. Her youngest is turning a year next week. My sister is feeling ready to be done, but her daughter will not take a bottle or sippy. Haha! I guess they'll just have to work it out between them, right?
