Karleen,
Michaelsen and coworkers state on page XIV:
"Breastfeeding should preferably continue beyond the first year of life, and in populations with high rates of infection continued breastfeeding throughout the second year and longer is likely to benefit the infant."
I've got the PDF file (a heavy one), if you are interested.
