Well, I agree it was bad, especially the baby-friendly stuff.  But as a
doctor who tried to work with a little breastfed baby, I could identify
with a lot of what Diane was feeling.....If it makes anyone feel better,
the info on Dissociative Identity Disorder was pretty bad, and Roseola
doesn't put babies in the ER getting IV.....I don't usually watch medical
shows because they always sensationalize things.  I actually can see how
the producers believed this wasn't an anti-breastfeeding show.  Yes, we
need to put some pressure on CBS to do appropriate follow-up.  Yes there
were some clear AFBM company influence here.  But I saw the episode
supporting different people trying to do the best for their families and
accepting that compassion and intuition do have a place in medical care.
We can use those as positives to "sandwich" around our concerns.
