Hi Heleen,
Thanks very much for the suggestion. I'm specifically looking for the
evidence behind WHO's recommendation that breastfeeding for up to 2 years or
beyond (I'm talking to the committee working on our state breastfeeding
policy). The site you pointed me to had info on the exclusive breastfeeding
to 6 months but not on overally duration. I have some references and can go
digging for more but I thought that WHO would have a document to back up the
complete breastfeeding position statement somewhere??
