Good for you for questioning your doctor's poor judgement! My son is 13 months old and still happily nursing. At his 12-month appointment, my doctor told me to start giving him cow's milk. You've already been given a million EXCELLENT reasons to continue breastfeeding, so I won't list them here, but I will stress what others have stressed to me when my doctor gave me such poor advice. You should seriously consider 1) printing out some information about extended breastfeeding and sending it to your doctor, 2) switching doctors, and 3) possibly even reporting your doctor to the AMA or the AAP. It is absurd that your doctor would even suggest that you start weaning at a year unless you had expressed some sort of desire to do so. Many doctors read the reports from the American Academy of Pediatrics wrong. It says that babies should breastfeed exclusively for AT LEAST six months (NOT that they must start solids at 6 months of age -- you can go much longer and it is in fact beneficial to do so). It also says that breastfeeding should be continued for AT LEAST one year, not that they should breastfeed for ONLY one year. One year is the bare MINIMUM that the AAP suggests, and several other health organizations (such as the World Health Organization and UNICEF) urge mothers to nurse at least until two years of age. If you can't trust your doctor to be educated about breastfeeding, what else is s/he uneducated about?? Seriously, you should look around (ask other breastfeeding mothers in the area, try LLL) for a recommendation, because you will be stuck with this doctor for as long as you live in that area. By the way, breastfeeding babies do NOT need cow's milk, either (in case your doctor told you that). Your baby already has the best milk possible and there is no reason to extract breastmilk from a different species to provide it for your already well-nourished baby. Good luck to you and your baby!!

About UNICEF
UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
Since 1946, UNICEF has led a tireless crusade against disease and suffering, advocating low-cost, practical solutions to the problems facing the world's children. And statistics show that these solutions have been extraordinarily effective:
A generation ago, 70,000 children died each day. Today that number has been cut by more than half.
Thirty years ago, 1 in 4 children died before the age of five. Today that number is less than 1 in ten.
In 1980, 10 percent of the world's children were immunized against the six killer diseases. Today, that number is over 75 percent.
This year, 3 million more children will live to their fifth birthday than in 1990, and tens of millions will lead healthier, more productive lives.
