I just wanted to add a short note about breastfeeding baby's stool pattern. My fourth child started stooling once a week at about two weeks and continued with that pattern until solids were added to her diet. The Dr. was not concerned since it was a consistant pattern. And as Katherine D. stated, what are they going to do to the baby? Our Peds. and other MDs who see breastfeeding infants should be required to attend some type of breastfeeding information class or seminar, or at least be required to state that they do not have current information on breastfeeding. Misinformation can do more damage than no information! I have not read every new book on breastfeeding but the other day an interesting 'hypothetical' question popped into my mind - we who work with breastfeeding moms grasp the impact that a non-breastfeeding culture has on breastfeeding (not knowing basic information. patterns, and having seen a breastfeeding baby, etc.) But working with moms for more than 6 years now, I was wondering if the generation or two of bottlefeeding is also part of the problems we are encountering? As I wrote to one of our Group moms, wouldn't that be an interesting study? Leslie in finally warm Vine Grove, KY
