Case 1: World Health Organisation reccomendation for breastmilk is for a
minimum of two years, with appropriate solid foods to complement the
breastfeeding - not the other way round.

Case 2: Effects of adverse brain development and physical stress from
CIO in infant brain well documented. Brain will be hardwired to respond
to distress at a higer response level over time. In newborns, CIO may
result in stress levels so high, that baby reverts to in utero blood
flow, and a hole in the heart opens up: in extreme cases this can lead
to death if CIO carried on over time.
Best source for this I've found is the _The Science of Parenting_ by
Prof. Margot Sunderland, where she not only explains it all in easy to
read bite sized chunks, but cites the scientific research impeccably.
Launched as _The Science of Parenting_ initially in both the UL and USA,
the book has been retitled in the UK as _What Every Parent Needs to
Know_. Book also covers brain development and bed-sharing, toddler
tantrums and behaviour - and is invaluable up to adolescence. I have
no financial interest in this book, but huge respect for Prof.
Sunderland's work. Few experts can turn complex scientific data into
readable and approachable info for all readers - this book manages it.
