I am looking for health outcomes brought on by breastfeeding for longer
than 12 months (both mother and child).

I remember that some of the health outcome of breastfeeding have a dose
response effect, but a part from breast cancer (the longer the woman
breastfed the lower the chances of breast cancer) I cannot find other
dose-related effects that are not controversial.
Most of the studies actually look at breastfeeding up to a year.

Can anyone point me to studies that report this kind of dose-response
effect for breastfeeding, especially for more than 12 months of bf?

Additionally, I am interested in the composition of BM after 12 months:
this is also very difficult to find.

Thanks to you all.
