I, too had a similar experience yesterday!  I went to my GP (who is new),
and mentioned as she handed me a prescription that although I am
bfing "this med. is fine to take".  She asked how old my baby was and I
said 15 months.  She looked horrified and said "you don't have to bf him
anymore!"  I said AAP states until 12 months or longer as is mutually
desired by mother and child and WHO states 2 yrs.  She said "well WHO is
for third world countries and AAP used to say six months and when they
changed it my colleagues and I all joked who has the time?"  She also said
after a year there is not much milk available anyway.  Hmmm...I thought the
mechanics of breastmilk worked on supply and demand.  I am in the process
of collecting articles and tidbits of info. for her.  It is ashame that she
has the potential to influence so many women and is so misinformed.
