Extended breastfeeding continues to provide important nutrients but more than that it provides comfort and emotional security to child. Few researches suggested that it lower the risk for breast cancers. Mothers who are in extended feeding should take protein rich diet.
Next Steps
Weaning can be a gradual process that respects the needs of both mother and child.
