Given the longer she breastfeeds, the more she reduces the risks of 
breast cancer to herself, on what basis is she being asked to give up an 
active aid to breast health?

The baseline mammogram sounds like nonsense to me, but I'll leave that 
to others who will know what they are talking about.  :-)

She has a toddler who is down to once a day, so I'm encouraging her to wean at her own pace and discuss with her doc whether there is really any problem if she ends up having it at age 42 instead. She would like to know how long she really needs to wait after weaning.  Given that she is not nursing much now, how long will it take for her breasts to be "baseline"?
