Does anyone have a recent article that details the benefits of bf after 1 yr? One of the pedi docs I work with just told a mom there were no benefits after 6mo, and since her child just turned a year, she should 'make things easier for herself, and stop bf.' She stopped that day! Called me due to engorgement, and when I asked if she wanted to continue a few times a day, we got into the discussion about the value of brmilk in the second year. She trusts my statements, but we want to help the doc understand as well. Thanks for the wisdom of the Lactnuts! michelle -- Michelle Scott, MA, RD/LD, IBCLC Pediatric Dietitian/Lactation Consultant [log in to unmask] 603 801-9140 Confidentiality Notice: This email message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
