Hi all, I'm new to LN, and would very much appreciate some information. A pediatrician friend of mine was not at all convinced when I informed him that babies should be exclusively breastfed for at least 6 mos. or more and that introduction of solids should not really start at 4 mos. of age which is usually recommended. Am I right in saying that? He wants to have documentation and researches done. Can anyone please site me some references whereby it states that an infant can actually breastfeed exclusively for 6 mos or more without being iron depleted, malnourished,etc? Thanks so much and would appreciate all information given.
