Alicia--
I agree with you that family physicians are a good source for bf women.
Where I live, there are no specialists and I've come to see this as a "good
thing." The family doc gets to know the whole family, usually, and sees the
mother and baby through prenatal, birth, and postpartum. Too many women fall
through the cracks, from what I have observed in urban areas, when they have
an OB who isn't terribly interested in the baby, and the Pediatrician, who
may or may not be terribly interested in the mother. Seems like an odd
combination to me, particularly when breastfeeding is involved. A good
family physician is a fabulous resource!
