Protecting Infants through Human Milk : Advancing the Scientific 
Evidence (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology)
by Larry K. Pickering

Has anybody seen and read this book? It's pretty expensive and I'm 
thinking about asking my director if we can get it, because we all know 
what a difference presenting the evidence makes to doctors (she says 
with tongue firmly planted in cheek). So, I'm an eternal optimist. Is 
this book worth the money?

And 'cause misery loves company here is a list of 3 incredibly stupid 
reasons to wean or use formula I have heard in the last couple weeks.
-You should wean your 13 month old because she's not gaining weight and 
she may be "filling up" on breast milk.
-You should start giving your exclusively breastfed 5 month old formula 
because you can't possibly keep up with him.
-You should start giving your 9 month old formula because he 
breastfeeds too often for a 9 month old (every 4-5 hours).
