I am curious about *her* scientific references.
Unicef/WHO recommends that milk (human or substitute) remains the main
source of food for the first year, with complementary foods after the
first half year.
What would be the rationale for substituting mother's own milk with
another "substitute" (by definition) milk?
Or are you talking about exclusive BF?
I leave to other wiser than me to suggest references for breastfeeding
beyond 3-6 months.
