I have been asked to write an article about children who exclusively breastfeed past the AAP recommended age of beginning solids. I have heard many mothers say that they waited for eight, ten, twelve months before beginning solids.
If you have a child who was breastfed only for this length of time or longer, I would appreciate hearing from you about
why you waited (or the child waited), if there were any problems with growth or anemia, and if the child was later sensitive to other foods or subsequently developed any type of allergies. What was the reaction of your health care provider?

Thanks. And Happy New Year!
