My impression was that there wasn't a way to reliably extend LAM  
beyond 6 months - which is not to say that it doesn't often extend  
well beyond 6 months on its own, but that the reliability is not  
there. (I'll admit that I haven't read the research) But I think that  
even for a mom who cosleeps and nurses exclusively and delays  
introduction of solids, she may see a return to fertility at 6 months.  
Just as the mother who is down to nursing only a few times a day and  
is feeding lots of solids may not see a return to fertility until she  
fully weans - or even well after that.
But - I would be interested in learning more.
