Does 6 months really mean something?

amanda_wahl

So I have (and not really for a good reason but saniHaden's baby steps) had a goal of making it 6 mos of EBF. Now that its close I'm planning on continuing however I'm curious bc I hear it and read it in here about how great it is to make the 6th month milestone and it got me wondering is there something behind that? Like as in do they say the benefits are the greatest in that time frame or anything specific like that? Please share what you know!
