[quote=Anonymous]The muscles used to BF and the muscles used to swallow solid food are different/used very differently. This is why you see babies mostly pushing food out of their mouths when you first introduce it. My concern with waiting that long is that it might be harder to make the switch/learn to use the muscles differently if you've been using the bf muscles exclusively since birth. But that's not coming from a medical professional, just a gut-level response to the proposal. I can say that there are not any proven benefits to EBF for a whole year. The known benefits of breastfeeding are only studied/proven on the early side (fourth trimester, mostly).[/quote]
