I have heard "full-term breastfeeding" used also, for either a child-
led approach or for breastfeeding to at least 12/24 months. The
downside is "is there such a thing as post-term breastfeeding?", but
it does lend itself to a change in viewpoint - by the implication
that there is also such a thing as "premature" cessation, with
accompanying health risks.
