First baby: 2 3/4 years, weaned 3 weeks before his brother was born. Not truly "baby-led," and not just because of the pregnancy. There were pacifiers, a crib, much more structure to the nursings. Call it "culturally curtailed," even though he's the one who "decided". His mother unwittingly encouraged weaning from Day 1. Second baby: very last 30-second nursing was either at 6 or 7 - no one remembers.
