I'm  really looking for the background documentation that resulted in WHO  
recommending breastfeeeding "up to two years or beyond" I've had no success  
thus far.



I just checked in the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding  and 
that recommendation is not referenced. They mention several  
references/resolutions which might tell you, things like the Innocenti  Declaration, the World 
Declaration and Plan of Action for Nutrition, the  International Code of 
Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes,and other World  Health Assembly resolutions. 
You might find them or what you need at the WHO  website.
