The scientific evidence for benefit of breastfeeding beyond six months is limited to non-existent.

Wrong! What is your specialty?

His specialty may not matter. Breastfeeding education in medical schools and residency programs is not necessarily very good. Some do an excellent job, but many offer little in the way of training about breastfeeding. Doctors have been responsible for a lot of breastfeeding failures by giving mothers bad information. My husband is a doctor. I taught him more about breastfeeding when I nursed our four than all of his medical training ever did.
