Anne and MaryAnne,
Couldn't agree more with this summary of why things go wrong with
physicians and breastfeeding advice.
Just like to add one ting. I think this "generalization of expertise" works
both ways. Parents have got to get a clue on this as well. And the general
public, for that matter. We have got to stop expectig our MDs to have a
"cure" for everything from the common cold to AIDS. We have to accept
responsibility for our own health.
At the same time, doctors need to refer...which is what Cathy said earlier.
Just my .02 worth.
