My comment on this study is - I hate it when they refer to babies nursed for
more than maybe six months or a year as "prolonged breastfeeding." I have
seen this same expression in many places, and to me it has the connotation
that weaning at six months would be "normal" breastfeeding and anything much
longer than that is somehow abnormal, too long, etc.
