I thought I read somewhere that the AAP reccommended exclusinvely bf for one year, but can't find it now. Anyone know if this is true?

As I have read AAP recommends 6 mo. exculsive breastfeeding and 1 yr of breastfeeding, or longer as mutually desired.

"Exclusive breastfeeding is ideal nutrition and sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months after birth....It is recommended that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mutually desired."
