Rob, You ask "What exactly impressed on me to tell this mom of a 10 day old she could breastfed I'm not sure but the baby is now exclusively breastfed." Well, I'll hazard a guess - was it your openmindedness and quest for more knowledge, and perhaps the influence of Lactnet too? When primary hcps like yourself make such a suggestion, this really shows that bf is valued. The mom will surely tell others of her success at relactation and Hey you could also mention this to colleagues who wouldn't even think of it. This would be a lovely ripple effect.
