I have heard "full-term breastfeeding" used also, for either a child- 
led approach or for breastfeeding to at least 12/24 months. The  
downside is "is there such a thing as post-term breastfeeding?", but  
it does lend itself to a change in viewpoint - by the implication  
that there is also such a thing as "premature" cessation, with  
accompanying health risks.
