The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mother and baby desire with exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. The World Health Organization recommends a combination of complementary feeding (solid foods) and continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age.
