"I think it is important to remember that most docs are doing the
best they can with the education they have."
Are they really? Would we cut them this much slack if they were handing out antacids to everyone with chest pain? Even if babies breastfeed only to the AAP minimum of a year, those 10-or-so visits represent about a third of all the well visits that child will have with a pediatrician. For them to *decide* to remain ignorant rather than *deciding* to set out and learn something about such a key piece of pediatrics is scandalous. When information is available, ignorance is a choice, not a genetic condition.
