Many people wonder if there is any benefit to breastfeeding a baby beyond one year. Here are some references that might give some helpful info to answer that question. I believe there are many, many, many benefits and they go far beyond just nutrition (though, nutritionally, you can't beat breast milk ;)
These references were collected by Kathy Dettwyler while compiling research for her own studies and published material. Kathy has a Ph.D. in Anthropology and studies breastfeeding and other infant behavior from an anthropological standpoint. I find it very interesting.
