I think it is impossible and wrong to generalize and stereotype families.
Each family unit has its own dynamics and healthy families learn to work together and function as a team.
This doctor should be focusing on how to help the families in his practice learn to work together for the benefit of the whole family. A healthy dynamic family unit is what should be his goal. I think it is sad that he chose breastfeeding, but as he did, a family that works together and meets the needs the newest member is a healthy family dealing with one of life's stresses.
