And therein lies our real problem.  If we can't make the pediatrician's and
other health professionals understand, what can we do?  My husband's
partners, (Pediatricians) while supportive of breastfeeding (they actually

And they are all convinced dh and I are a little nuts because we won't
allow anything with baby bottles in our house.
