Children have a right to get love, to be cared and to get education from their parent. Al-Quran have statement about this with mother as a subject, wheter they are as a wife or have got divorce, Allah said to them to give breastfeeding to their children for whole 2 years, without differentiate whether is a baby boys or girls. This matter is showed in surah Al-Baqarah:233 :

"The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling, but the father of the child shall bear the cost of the mother's food and clothing on a reasonable basis. No person shall have a burden laid on him greater than he can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child, nor father on account of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no sin on them. And if you decide on a foster suckling-mother for your children, there is no sin on you, provided you pay (the mother) what you agreed (to give her) on reasonable basis. And fear Allâh and know that Allâh is All-Seer of what you do."

So, please to all mothers, give your children breastfeeding, don't ignore them just because some stupid reason, like it will damage the beauty of your breast, or because of you are a career women. You can avoid to give your baby breastfeeding, if you have problem of health that cause your milk is not coming, or some other health problem.
