Dear Nina,
He is speaking from his experience with his patients. He said, this was a
conclusion that he has made based on what he's seen with his patients and
that usually mothers are so immersed with breastfeeding they dismiss the
possibility that any of the members of the family is affected. He insists
that he is a great supporter of breastfeeding but not beyond one year.
Anyway, I will ask to show me the evidence.
Thanks for the response.
Regards,
Linda
