I am having a hard time understanding the Dr.'s point of view. On the one hand, according to many HCP's moms should not be "forced" to breastfeed if they don't enjoy it because bottle-feeding is equal anyway. On the other hand, don't enjoy it too much or for too long. If it looks like the mom is getting any psychological benefit or enjoyment from breastfeeding that is a reason to wean as well. The bottom line appears to be, wean if you don't enjoy breastfeeding and wean if you do enjoy it. Moral of the story is to be completely indifferent to the lovely, vulnerable human being learning love at your breast or someone will want you to stop.
