Without getting into the right or wrong of it all, the author completely misrepresents the American Academy of Pediatrics. I wouldn't be surprised if it does not force her to print a retraction or clarification on it's stance.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be exclusively breastfed for about the first 6 months of life. This means your baby needs no additional foods (except Vitamin D) or fluids unless medically indicated. Babies should continue to breastfeed for a year and for as long as is mutually desired by the mother and baby.

Are you suggesting that the American Academy of Pediatrics approves of a mother breastfeeding her nearly four-year-old boy?
