Rachel and all,

This cracked me up.  Definitely one to save in my Lactnet Quotes folder!

<<The baby, according to the pediatrician, 'looks great, is healthy, happy,
sleeping well and is appropriately alert' but this same pediatrician fears
that the mother is sacrificing the baby's health 'on the altar of
breastfeeding'.  Say what?!  What would it take to convince the doctor that
the baby is thriving?  (And last time I visited my local house of
breastfeeding worship, infant sacrifice was definitely *not* part of the
liturgy.  What faith does the doctor think the parents adhere to, anyway?)
Of course I guess the concern is understandable, since slimness is a major
public health menace in the world today. (!!)>>

Sounds like Katherine has the problem figured out and this lucky baby will
not be sacrificed!
