Sara Dodder Furr made good points about correlation and causation.
She kindly refrained from insinuation, leaving that opportunity to me.
Another possible confounder in this situation would be the quality of
support/info/care the women known to this midwife have had while
breastfeeding.  We have seen how much emphasis the midwife places on
evidence vs. clinical impressions.  What other gems of currently accepted
'wisdom' have these women been exposed to from the same source?
embarrassed and irritated on behalf of my many colleagues who DO practice
based on evidence,
