Well, now. That's an ominous statement. I think it's time to seek a second
opinion, like NOW!
I had a coworker whose father was a Child Protective Caseworker. Naturally,
I had to query whether extended nursing past one year of age raised any
antennae within the CPS bureaucracy. He assured me that no, neither toddler
nursing nor public nursing are considered reportable events - at least in
Arizona, USA.
Check with your own CPS-type agency. However, it's a moot point if your
state has a law that protects mom's / baby's right to breastfeed.
I always went to my Pediatrician for medical advice, not for parenting or
social advice.

 BTW, this doc also says that
> breastfeeding past a year is "socially unacceptable".  Hurry your
reply--baby's
> getting near that magic date, whatever it is!
