<<<<Looking for  some research supporting the quality of  breastmilk after a 
year but will settle  for at one year.

In the second year (12-23 months), 448 mL of breastmilk  provides:  
    *   29% of energy requirements  
    *   43% of protein requirements  
    *   36% of calcium requirements  
    *   75% of vitamin A requirements  
    *   76% of folate requirements  
    *   94% of vitamin B12 requirements  
    *   60% of vitamin C requirements

"Human milk expressed by mothers who have been lactating for >1 year has  
significantly increased fat and energy contents, compared with milk expressed by  
women who have been lactating for shorter periods. During prolonged 
lactation,  the fat energy contribution of breast milk to the infant diet might be  
significant."
