I would not say it is always a given that a female doctor is more
supportive of breastfeeding.  (Please understand that the following is
a real generalization).  My impression is that most male doctors
really are lukewarm with regard to breastfeeding, with a few being
really supportive, and a few being really negative.  I find that
female physicians are far more polarized, either being very pro, or
very negative.  Probably has to do with their own experiences, no?
