Amy,
My favorite answer to moms who've been told that their newborn is too
"big" to breastfeed is:
"Your body had the resources to build that beautiful big baby.  What
makes them think you don't have the resources to make milk for him?"
Makes mom think, without necessarily attacking the (insert impolite
language for willfully uninformed persons) who said it.
