I think that the issue is less of what is appropriate than what is not.  
I refer more often to premature weaning than I do to any specific 
length  of time for breastfeeding. If I do have to address breastfeeding 
in such  terms, I usually simply say "normal breastfeeding".  I cannot 
imagine a  perfect word, b/c from our frame of reference, we take for 
granted that  breastfeeding happens until it is finished happening. How 
do we convey this  to someone who has a whole other frame of reference?

And in your practice in the US, do you refer to premature weaning as prior  
to one year or two years?
