I do like the term normal breastfeeding rather than extended.  Maybe we need to stop worrying about making moms feel guilty if it means lying to them.  Extended breastfeeding is really normal breastfeeding, and if moms know that they might start feeling cheated and feeling angry at the healthcare providers and family members and……who interfered with their ability or desire to breastfeed for as long as they would have liked.  Formula companies try to the use the "don't make mothers feel guilty" argument, and it is just a way for them to keep on doing what they are doing while dumping all of the responsibility on the mothers.
