SUMMARY
A decade ago, child psychiatrist Coello-Novello, in her term as
Surgeon General of the United States, said, "It's the lucky baby, I
feel , who continues to nurse until he's two." The accumulated
evidence supports her statement. The understanding of the benefits
of breastfeeding beyond 12 months should support the cultural change
in which eventually prolonged breastfeeding becomes normal.
