That's an old (1997) recommendation that came out after my son was born. They've changed it twice since then, first to 1 yr, then to self-weaning. Unfortunately, I have to leave for the morning, but when I get back, I'll try and find the info for you.

No, that's the current recommendation. He just didn't bother to read beyond the sentance that supported his statement. The AAP recommendation goes on to say, "It is recommended that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mutually desired.^{104 "}

First of all, I'd like to know how the powers that be found out this information. Seems to me it might be the child that ratted on the mom, which seems to me the child just might not want to be breastfeeding but mom is insisting.
