Hi Marit
Public health recommendations are for distribution to the general public.
Individual babies should be assessed individually.  If they are growing,
showing no signs of amaemia and otherwise healthy, there is no problem.
(And if there was, I am not sure what could be done to 'fix' it.  Parents
cannot force their childern to eat and the old doctors' tale that 'If you
cut down the breastmilk, she will be hungry enough to eat' is nothing more
than rubbish.)
As an aside, my third child was exclusively breastfed (as needed and
co-slept) for 15months.  She refused to eat anything mushed or pureed.  She
refused to be 'fed' anything and spat out anything that she put into her
mouth.  One day she reached out and picked up one of the lamb chops on my
plate and she has eaten like an adult ever since.  When I am telling mothers
this story, I also tell them that this meant that I breastfed her 10-12 or
more times in twenty four hours until she started solids.  She weaned from
breastfeeding well after her third birthday.
Hope that helps
