There's still a sense of cultural judgment in that, though... and misplaced, since "full-term breastfeeding" probably doesn't really start until around 30 months.  We have a long way to go before this culture grasps the notion that the baby who nurses to 2 1/2 has only just entered the apparently physiologically normal "weaning window" of 2 1/2 to 7 years.
