From CBS Web site, in part:

<<Dr. Johnson recommends 4 to 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and then
mothers can shift over to complementary foods as well as breast milk.
Continue breastfeeding as long as it's comfortable for mother and child, he
says. Usually, that's about a year old.>>

Another poster mentioned that this was not said on the TV segment. I hope
that it was not in a portion edited out; it would be a very bad sign if the
president of the AAP is giving recommendations (for both the duration of
exclusive breastfeeding and the duration of total breastfeeding) different
than those in the AAP's recommendations released six years ago.
Sincerely,
