I watched a movie last night about the life of Paul Fleiss,M.D. (one of the advisors on LLL's Medical advisory board). The opening scene showed him in his office doing a well baby check and praising the parents for their decision to BF. There are several references to BFing throughout the movie (including his statement that Hitler was not Breastfed). Also, at a political fundraiser at his home, a woman approached Dr. Fleiss and also Dr. Spock who was sitting with him, and was concerned that she may be spoiling her son by not allowing him to "cry it out". Dr. Spock quickly replied that it was impossible to spoil an infant. Dr. Fleiss added that if she forces her son to "cry it out" that" she will only be teaching him that she cannot be bothered when he needs her." Regardless, of how one may feel about the Fleiss family and their situation it was a thoughtful and sensitive movie and I appreciated the encouragement of breastfeeding and responding to the needs of your child.
