Georgeanne.... DEFINITELY write this guy a letter (in the least). He
can not be allowed to treat patients like this and get away with it. He
needs some bf education in a big way. Perhaps there are some
information sheets he can be sent also on reproduction and bf, and also
on extended breastfeeding?
I am sorry she had to be subjected to him.
