Boob Scoop: Kathy Dettwyler, a leading anthropologist who studies breastfeeding and night-waking from a historical, cross-cultural, and biological point of view, has found that human children are designed to nurse very frequently for their first few years. In fact, it is normal for children to nurse at night up to 3 or 4 years of age.
