You're right, of course. I don't think it was appropriate to withdraw bf in this case. Hell, what was 6 hrs going to do? But I do appreciate having a "rationale" however weak, so that if any doc throws that one at me, I am ready and knowledgeable about it. And can make my argument back. I maybe could have convinced this doc to give elemental formula while baby bf at the breast with a supply line for 6 hrs. That would have been a lesser evil.
