I don't think neonatologists are dumber than dirt. I think most of them are
highly intelligent, and know much more than I do in all the areas of
knowledge that they have studied which I have not studied. However, I don't
think they get much decent education about the hazards of formula in their
medical training, so they don't appreciate the importance of keeping formula
out of newborns' bodies.
When I have a little time, I'm going to post something to LactNet from a
"home inspection system" I was given recently -- at the time I thought it
made a great analogy for some of the problems we see in supporting
breastfeeding.
