Quite right, Nancy, about neonatologists. Indeed, some of the big names and pioneers in breastfeeding have been neonatologists. I did not mean to smear neonatologists. It is just that neonatologists have so much influence, but there is no reason why they should have any particular expertise in breastfeeding, any more than respirologists. Those who do have gotten that expertise *despite* their training, which, if I may venture to say, teaches them that breastfeeding (and breastmilk) is a problem. The same could be said of pediatricians. I do a lot of speaking. And when I speak to physicians, they tend to say "we're all for it, but the nurses on not on side". When I speak to nurses, they tend to say, "we're all for it, but the doctors on not on side". And *everyone* agrees that the pediatricians are *the* big impediment. As a pediatrician that saddens me immensely. Disclaimer: I am not talking about *all* neonatologists, respirologists, pediatricians, physicians or nurses. Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC
