Oh No!  I pushed send by mistake! Sorry. Here is the rest of my message.

A highly respected pediatrician here in L.A. for 20 years is married to an
ABM co. sales rep! I have heard others in the lactation community refer to
him as Dr. Testosterone because of how he treats his moms: You Must do as I
Say because I Am the Doctor and I Know what is Best for Your Baby. His shares
office space with another respected male pediatrician with a reputation for
promoting breastfeeding but who never the less has told his breastfeeding
moms that "90 percent of my breastfeeding moms offer supplementary bottles."
They also have in their office a youngish female pediatrician who is very
supportive of breastfeeding. Anyway, I understand that when Dr. Testosterone
and Ms. ABM rep had kids, she did not want to breastfeed at all, but that he
insisted tht she do so for at least six weeks until she went back to work, he
was that convinced of breastfeeding importance. So would all three of these
M.D.s be  eliminated from Lactnet because of their association with the ABM
rep? Maybe they could learn something. What would your cut off be?
