Julia Show the doc one study on something or other and tell him to write orders changing everyone's practice. Pick a real "out there" topic and I think he will get the picture that one study does not make the rule. Now before you do this, read the lactnet archives on nipple confusion, nipple preference and the usual bf refs so that you have an open mind about all aspects of this subject which is another one that could be debated ad infinitum.
