Mine all weaned around 2 1/2. But, they were really only nursing to sleep by that age. They didn't really ask in public after they were about 15 months old. There were too many other things to do, see and eat!

 

My kids were born in California and Germany. The overall culture seemed accepting in both cases.

In my circle if people nurse they wean by a year for the most part. The longest I have nursed is to age 3.5. I stopped nursing at church and other public places a bit after 2. I got some strange looks and comments but I have a naturally thick skin so it didn't bother me...
