I feel your frustration. How completely bizarre that those charged with the medical care of our infants know so little about feeding them. What a mess we have made.

"....The doctor told me in her last appt (last week) that the health benefits of
nursing have now really diminished and that the benefits are now only
emotional (for her and me). So, I realized today that me pumping at work so
the nanny can give her a bottle of breast milk is really not necessary – there
are no health or emotional benefits there....."
Do you think that I contradicted what he told her...YOU BET!!
So much more work to do. SIGH.
