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.
