Jennifer  asked, "Did I miss something?.... I'm not sure why Dr. Greene "needs to have his MD taken away." Could you please clarify?

While I am not suggesting that we remove his MD, you might find it interesting to look at some of the other aticles listed at
http://www.drgreene.com/21_552.html , especially this one:
Breast to Bottle – Nipple to Cup http://www.drgreene.com/21_1463.html

I quote:

"The keys to successful weaning are substituting something wonderful for what the child is giving up, and giving the child time to adjust.

Weaning a baby from the breast to the bottle can be a big transition for both Mom and baby. The process is easiest if a bottle is introduced long before the breast begins to be taken away. I urge families I work with to begin occasional bottle-feeding once breastfeeding has become easy and natural, usually by 2 or 3 weeks. As a father, I found those opportunities to feed my children precious indeed. My children loved them too. In addition, if the feedings are strategically timed they can give the mother some much-needed rest.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breast milk throughout the first year, if possible. Nursing will stop, though, whenever mother or baby decides it is time. "

I was also misled by his article on the benefits of breastfeeding :(
This is a doctoer in need of further education!
