breastfeeding is great. the reason they call it formula is becuase it is still not technolgcially possible to replicate human breast milk. the reasons above are all true and valid.
from what we have understood from medical professionals and credible reference works, you have got all the health benefits of breast feeding by 12 -18 months. after that, the physical value is up to debate. the psychological effects are also debated, quite hotly.
we opted to wean at the first birthday, and it was a personal choice for my wife who was ready to be done with it. i support her in everything.
the norm for breast size is that it goes down once the glands shrink after milk production. since they got bigger when the glands swelled up, breasts tend to sag a bit from the stretching. that's the norm, at least, but we all know how things are different for everyone.
