Get a different dr.  This is an extrememly responsible 17 yr old who is doing better with a new baby than many
older moms do.   She needs  the support of a responsible knowledgable dr. who hopefully also recognizes that
she is doing a wonderful job.  My concern with drs who don't know much about bf is -  how much do they
know about other important issues?  Will she be able to trust him on other things when he is so off on this?
Congratulations !  Grands are great!  ~  Mary Shine LLLL
