Ooh, I *like* that. Especially when we're speaking in general terms. I'd go for something gentler with a mother herself; just today in the grocery store I saw a past LLL mom who "confessed" with mixed pride and embarrassment that her daughter nursed to 2 1/2. Those moms, in this culture, deserve high praise. But when we speak generally, or to other professionals, or in publications, there's the biologically normal range... and there's limited duration :-)
