Jennifer, having an awful day, fumes:

<< why do we, the lactation experts, think we have to win over the docs?  >>

Easy -- because they have already established their credibility with the
public, mostly by saving a lot of lives over the last century or so; and we
have not yet.

You only have to win over the docs if you care more about outcomes.  If you
care more about truth in the abstract, you can just stand around being
truthful.  But in the USA, at least, you'll have few mothers and babies to
help this way.

Jennifer, you in general do a good job of speaking truth to power.  But "to"
is as key here a word as "truth."   No conversation, no change.
