Denise,
Did you notice that they quoted the WHO recommendations incorrectly? As far
as I remember WHO recommends breastfeeding to *at least* 2 years. It makes a
big difference to how well Aust is doing when you look at the graph
immediately underneath.

"The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding (the
consumption of breastmilk only) for 6 months with the introduction of
complementary foods (milk substitutes and solids), and continued
breastfeeding up to 2 years of age. "
