I think it is hilarious that anthropological finding that because a Swedish woman breast feeds for several years it is therefore correct practice. An infant does not need breast milk for very long after it ingests the initial colostrum. Depending on the health of the mother a balanced formula might actually be better soon after ingestion of colostrum.
