As a Lactation Consultant, my main customers are mothers whose babies are under 12 months of age, so when looking for information for my daughter-in-law, I found it hard to find anything on milk intake for babies older than 12 months. After doing some research, I have come to the following conclusion that I thought I would share with the moms on the world wide web.

This is despite the AAP's statement that "Breastfeeding should continue to at least a year and thereafter as long as mutually desired." The WHO recommends breastfeeding to at least two years. Why? Many of the health benefits are dose related. The longer (or more exclus... Read More
