Daily requirements in breastmilk in the second year (12-24 months)

[BellyBelly]

Just sharing some info, so when people ask you that question, 'Are you STILL breastfeeding? Surely it can't be any help to him now?' you can tell them.....

In the second year (12-23 months), 448 mL of breastmilk provides:

* 29% of energy requirements
* 43% of protein requirements
* 36% of calcium requirements
* 75% of vitamin A requirements
* 76% of folate requirements
* 94% of vitamin B12 requirements; and;
* 60% of vitamin C requirements

-- Dewey 2001

You'd think given this, two year olds were still meant to be breastfed.
