Carol C. recently wrote about a physician speaking against the use of
fenugreek at a Peds Meeting.  Although, information was placed in all the
doctor mailboxes....read or not...only one physician spoke up about her
familiarity with it.  Today I received a call from a teary mom of 6 weeks
that was asking to wean...due to her frustration with breastfeeding.  After
being treated for mastitis her OB prescribed diflucan...but her Ped refused
to approve her nursing the infant while on it.  Her Ped is of the same
attitude as the Ped that freaked out about fenugreek.  Our head of Peds
recently stated that both of these doctors have openly stated that
breastfeeding is over-rated.  I know this has been touched upon recently, but
how does one keep up the spirit to move forward?
Thanks for letting me vent
