Wouldn't it be great if it read: ''There may be evidence of harm if breastfeeding does not continue into a child's third year of life''.
As we know that the immunitysystem does not mature untill 5 years, children may be harmed when they are not ''suppplemented'' with mom's antibodies.

"psychological" before harm, but I'm too lazy to go look it up right now :-)
