Robin, you say in your most recent post the lady under pressure to 
wean is in the UK - I had assumed Israel, which is where you are. 
Given she is in the UK,  she can certainly aim to get support for her 
bf from her health visitor, a healthcare professional which every UK 
mother has. HVs are very mixed in their knowledgeand support of bf, 
but most would support a mother's declared intention to continue, and 
most would be 'mother centred' and not 'doctor centred' .

I have counselled many women who have heard incorrect info and 
uninformed opinion from their doctors, and part of what I suggest to 
them is to speak to their health visitor about it.
