Thanks again to Camilla McCauley I found this document, freely accessible,
at the WHO website.  It is called "Guiding principles for complementary
feeding of the breastfed child", written by Kathryn Dewey, and deals with
the breastfed child up to two years old.  For anyone needing arguments in
discussions with the unenlightened who believe that breastmilk's properties
last for 6 months at most, after which the breastmilk becomes non-nutritious
at best and anti-nutritious at worst, this is the document you have been
waiting for.

I read the entire document without stopping, it was that good.  Here's one
of the many gems: "Optimal complementary feeding depends not only on what is
fed, but also on how, when, where and by whom the child is fed."  Beautiful
photos of breastfed children throughout make it a pleasure to look at too.
