Whenever you want to stop
Start weaning whenever it no longer suits you to feed. I have had six children including twins. They were weaned : l year, 1 year, 1 year (all because I wanted my chest back to myself!!) then for number 4 it was eight weeks because she couldn't do it and was starving to death so had to put her on bottle, then with the last two I breast fed them as twins together for 21 months and then sadly one died in an accident so breastfed the surviving twin until she was four years old, and no not because I was weirdo or silly sod but simply because I had decided as they were twins to give them an extra year on the breast if they wanted it, ie until they were two, however when Martha died, her surviving twin didn't want to stop feeding and we were so worried she would be upset if I stopped as she had lost half of her very being. Anyway crafty sod would never have stopped until I got really worried that she would be feeding whilst going to school so I told her on her fourth birthday I wouldn't be allowed to feed her any more, she accepted it just like that, wished I'd tried that tactic earlier ha ha. However she is now eleven and perfectly normal as are all the others. Stop when you want to darling WHATEVER AGE
