Does anyone have a recent article that details the benefits of bf after 1
yr?  One of the pedi docs I work with just told a mom there were no
benefits after 6mo, and since her child just turned a year, she should
'make things easier for herself, and stop bf.'  She stopped that day!
 Called me due to engorgement, and when I asked if she wanted to continue a
few times a day, we got into the discussion about the value of brmilk in
the second year.  She trusts my statements, but we want to help the doc
understand as well.  Thanks for the wisdom of the Lactnuts!  michelle
