Please tell me if there are any benefits to breastfeeding past 6 months?

Immune benifits: Data supports the superiority of breast milk over formula until the infant begins to dilute feedings with alternative foods. This includes the addition of cereals, fruits and vegetables along with other solids. The IgA transferred in the milk helps reduce some forms of infection until their effect is diluted.Generally this works out as 8 months.Some babies prefer it for nurturing benefits.
