A decade ago, child psychiatrist Coello-Novello,[17] in her term as Surgeon
General of the United States, said, "It's the lucky baby, I feel, who
continues to nurse until he's two." The accumulated evidence supports her
statement. The understanding of the benefits of breastfeeding beyond 12
months should support the cultural change in which eventually prolonged
breastfeeding becomes normal.
