Great article on Mercola.com

The title and first paragraphs are about when to introduce solids, and then it goes on to encourage long term nursing!! I don't agree 100% with his nutritional advice as far as which solids to introduce (specifically his exclusion of grains) but overall it's a wonderful article.

I especially like the way he handles inability to bf/need for formula. Towards the end of the article, he writes

That said, I understand there are certain conditions and circumstances that may prevent you from being able to breastfeed. If this is the case, you can make a healthy infant formula <hyperlink to recipe> using raw milk.

No apologetics or excuses about not breastfeeding- just a simple statement that yes, he understands that some women can't bf and here's his advice about formula. BTW, the first 2 paragraphs of the formula page expound on the importance of bf and that ANY formula is a pale imitation.

He has quite a few articles on his site about breastfeeding. He is very pro breastfeeidng

Good article! I believe the reason they excluded grains is that a lot of people tend to develop wheat alergies among other things.
