This mother found it very disappointing for a pediatric specialist to 
suggest weaning since his belief is that human milk is constipating.

Of you have any references or suggestions I could pass on to this  mother, 
it would be appreciated.>>



I would turn it around, and ask the specialist for his scientific data that 
human milk is constipating in a 29 month old!!  He doesn't know what he is 
talking about.

I know next to nothing about this particular case, but have the parents 
tried completely eliminating COW's milk from the kid's diet??  (and mom's, 
at least for a while)
