> Help!!

> I need some references, please.  There is an OB/GYN practice in the small town
where I practice, all relatively young physicians and a nurse practitioner who
has practiced for 20 years.  They tell moms that they MUST stop breastfeeding
when they become pregnant - no matter how old the nursling is - and how the
pregnancy is progressing, I wrote a very nice letter to them suggesting that
recent research shows that nursing during pregnancy is OK and included a Ruth
Lawrence reference.
> I just received a letter back stating they definately tell moms to stop
breastfeeding during pregnancy and plan to continue that advice.

I suppose you did ask them on which research findings they based this advise on?

> PS The mom they told to stop is still nursing after calling me

Good of her!
