Dear Loretta, me thinks he doth protest too much. This kind of attitude
comes from someone who has a personal ax to grind about breastfeeding.

  I suggest that this language be stricken from the wording, because it is
ridiculous to put it in...basically. I will repost now what I have on guilt
in my files. If you do a search for guilt in the archives, you will find a
wealth of information.

I'd get a physician to discuss this with him, ..someone on "his level."
People who have this kind of attitude are usually unwilling to discuss it
with those of a lower professional status. Kathleen
