Is there benefits to
nursing after 12 months....
YES!
The antibodies increase in
breastmilk after a year!
See below...
“Antibodies are abundant in
human milk throughout lactation”
(Nutrition During Lactation 1991; p. 134).
In fact, some of the immune
factors in breastmilk
increase in concentration during
the second year and also
during the weaning process.
