Best site to convince DH to accept BF past 12m

[radiatormesh]

DD was BF to 12m. I then had to stop because of surgery (heavy painkillers for a few weeks).

DS is now 10m, and I'd like to keep feeding for as long as possible. DH is very supportive of giving him 12m but not more (the whole 'once he can walk and ask for it, he's too old' argument).

Does anyone have any solid medical links to support extended BF which I could show him? Thanks.

WHO guidelines:

On my phone, so can't add links.

Kellymom is a good website. As is The La Leche League. Dr Jack Newman, Dr Sears, Dr Jay Gordon are all advocates of breastfeeding beyond a year.

Thank you :)

My DH was initially against BF past a year when I had DD. I just explained the benefits of natural term BF to him a lot and that, along with seeing how much DD loved it and benefitted from it meant that he was actually a bit sad when she weaned (at 26 months when I was 32 weeks pregnant) particularly as she started asking to nurse again once DS was born, but she'd forgotten how to latch but couldn't.
