Wow. That is quite a dilemma. Honestly, I don't think anyone can truly help you make a choice. As someone who breastfeed an infant for short amount of time, I would say there is no harm in stopping now. In the end, I honestly don't see a difference in babies who have been breastfeed for 6 months or 6 years! Some milk is very beneficial--no one can deny that. You've already given your daughter beneficial antibodies from the breastfeeding that you've done. There will be lots of people who will say extended breastfeeding (over one year) is optimal. But from experience, there is no difference among children who were breastfed a short amount of time vs extended periods of time. And please, don't think that you are short changing you daughter with regard to IQ or anything of that sort. Research shows that breastfed babies tend to have higher IQ's not from breastfeeding itself but from the fact that breastfeeding mothers have higher IQs than the general public so it's not a matter of breastfeeding, but rather genetics!
