<<even the AAP said it was OK in writing!>>

Yes but I believe both the AAP and WHO recommendations for BF were 
misquoted.  The article says AAP recommends "up to a year" and same for 
the WHO (2 years).  I believe both the AAP & WHO recommendations are a 
MINIMUM of 1 yr (AAP) and 2 yrs (WHO) and then for as long as 
mother/baby wish to continue.  "up to a year" and "a minimum of one 
year" are two completely different things so it would've been nice to 
see the correct wording especially since it sends a stronger message 
than what was actually printed.
