Is there anyone that is familiar with America's Health Network?  Well, I have
fallen upon their "Ask the Pediatrician" with Dr. Alix Casler numerous times.
 This one time I decided to visit their website.  I knew before hand that
this doctor is not very pro-breastfeeding to begin with but I was hoping for
a better site with better information.  Here is the site
<A HREF="http://www.ahn.com/content/content_get.asp?keycode=2212A">AHN.com -
Formula feeding
</A> They mention little about breastfeeding making it out to be equal to
formula. (unreal).  I have written a letter already expressing my
disappointment.  I corrected their misinformation about breastfeeding.

Dr. Alix Casler claims to be a member of the AAP but clearly goes against and
does not follow the AAP recommendations about breastfeeding.  She is a
"Ferber Fanatic"  along with early solids starter (she recommends 3 months
and claims the AAP does also)  She also tends to diagnose every baby that
spits up with Reflux.

Is there anyone willing to look into this and write letters to get them to
put "correct" breastfeeding information on their website?

Thank you,
