[quote=Anonymous]I'm curious how pediatricians will interpret this guidance. Contrary to what some posters have said, the new guidance says nothing about nursing for one year and then deciding if you want to continue. It just says all babies except in extremely rare cases should be breastfed for six months. Then the "mutually desired" language (which used to apply to "one year and beyond) now applies to two years. Will any pediatricians reduce (to six months) or increase (to two years) when they recommend women nurse until (before women regain their bodily autonomy at either six months or two years)? Also, why two years? Why not say the AAP supports breastfeeding children of any age? Is there an age at which it considers breastfeeding to be harmful?[/quote]
