I didn't actually read the article so I don't know of that's the case here, and I'm well aware that some are like that, and agree that it becomes an issue (more one of the child becoming generally expectant and demanding). Feeding on demand doesn't need to go on past 6 months but, I would say, the majority of extended breastfeeders probably only do it once or twice a day (morning and night).
