Heide,
Weaning is completely unnecessary. I would suggest copying the page from
Hale, and also getting the section in Ruth Lawrence's book to show him. What
he is really saying is "I don't know so I'm going to do the "safe" thing--
recommend weaning."  But here's an even better way: talk to the
pediatrician. Be sure he has the same info just in case he isn't familiar
either, though he should be. It's the pediatrician's call in the end. If the
same doc is the pediatrician, well........ time to get informed!

Postpartum thyroiditis can affect milk supply so it really is important for
her to get her meds squared away.
