# Once a child stops nursing it is permitted for them to start again until they are two years old. Once they are two years old and they stopped they can't restart. Stopping to nurse means that the baby didn't nurse for three days. If they stopped because they were sick it doesn't count as though they stopped. If the baby's health is endangered they can start again to nurse. <ref>Gemara Ketubot 60a, Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 81:7</ref> | |||
