Toddler bf references

Hello,

I'm sure I have seen this discussed before, but I can't find it on google.

I need some references for the health benefits of bfing a toddler (over 1
year). I would like benefits to the toddler, rather than the mother.

Thanks!
ROSIE

The first one is most like what you asked for but the others are about
extended nursing in general (I have them bookmarked and I haven't got time
right now to read them again to make sure they're appropriate!).

It was discussed in 2002 with the identical subject line! Google
actually threaded them together when I saw your post.

There are a couple references at the beginning with toddler benefits,
and then it goes into an involved discussion of mother benefits.
