Yes it is true. You are advised to breastfeed upto 2 years and even beyond as baby's brain is still developing.

Dear parents,
According to me stop milk from 8amto8pm and give semisolid diet like Dal,dalia,khicdi alu kela rice,apple,upama,halwa,patolia,rab,kadi idle poha satu custard etc and from 80pmto8am give mother milk is preferable. To start with stop milk for 4hrs for 15days and give semisolid diet next 15days stop milk for8hrs and give semisolid diet lastly stop milk from 8amto8pm and give semisolid diet. For your knowledge 100ml milk gives 70calories of energy 100ml juices give 55calories of energy and 100gm of semisolid diet gives 350calories of energy.
About mothers milk continue at least for 2years, than after your love allow.
