I always use the term long-term breastfeeding. It is an accurate description and long-term is used to describe other situations where a "long time" is not "too long" eg "long-term relationship"

> I know that one blogger, Hobo Mama, came up with the term 'long-term breastfeeding' in response to such a discussion, which she felt suited her well and which was positively received by her readers in the comments.  I actually felt it sounded rather negative, but don't object to it if it's what others like - would be curious to know what others think!  (The post is at http://www.hobomama.com/2010/03/long-term-breastfeeding.html, for those who are interested.)
