I really don't know enough about this to say if the mother is at any
risk from continuing breastfeeding. However, the "formula is almost
as good" story is a lie. Secondly, the decision on how long to
breastfeed is the mother's. She has gotten the story from the
doctors. Now *she* decides. Not them.
Where is the physicians' evidence that the mother is at risk?
