Earlier today, Dr. Phil's website
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?R35C63462) read, "The American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends that children be breast-fed for six to 12 months."

I'm happy to note that the website has now been updated to read, "The
American Academy of Pediatrics says that breastfeeding for the first 6
months after birth supports optimal growth and development and
recommends that children be breast-fed for at least 12 months.
Thereafter, breastfeeding can continue for as long as mutually desired."

It's nice to know when our voices are heard.
