breast early and often, and that formula supplementation should be
avoided unless medically necessary, and will go on to include the "just
one bottle" references. I anticipate this will be in direct opposition

You didn't say but I'm assuming that you let her know that your subject
presentation will contradict hers.
That, the fact that you have twice as much time as her and your credentials
should be enough to cause her to rethink her outline.   If you aren't
convinced that it will, I would then remind her that as HCPs all of our
practice needs to be evidence based AND that medicalresidents have very
little time or interest in hearing anything but. You will actually be doing
her a favor by helping her to prepare a presentation that reflects well on
her and all of us as HCPs.
Watching her squirm will help noone.
Is she an IBCLC?
