Really Winnie?
This WAS the advice given to me by my pedi when I had my first, 18 years ago 
in Wilm, Delaware. 
 As a matter of fact he and I had the oppurtunity to discuss this 
recommendation *many* years later when I was back in the area visiting and needing to see 
him with my asthmatic son.   It was quite funny; as soon as I mentioned that 
I had become a lactation consultant he cringed and actually referred back to 
that advice as "pitiful"! He has since become VERY well versed AND married an 
LC- how about that !
I told him "don't worry, I didn't listen to it anyway!"   As consolation, I 
also mentioned the fact that another of his comments regarding the fact that my 
precocious dd at 6mths of age had a vocabulary of 6 words was "due to the 
breastfeeding", made my day!
