Well said Teresa.  It has brought several issues to the attention of  the 
media, public and AAP.  
 
Dr. Gordon and I might not always agree on everything, but his heart is  
huge and wit unmatched!  Dr. Dettwyler has added much to the breastfeeding  
knowledge base.  I respect you both.  We all tend to believe research  that 
supports our views and find fault with research that does not- that is  human 
nature.  We all must recognize that fact when we are looking at  research - 
none of which is perfect.
 
Perhaps an April Fool's press release from the AAP, without any specific  
person's name on it, would have been more palatable to some.

As  someone who respects and admires both Dr. Dettwyler and Dr. Gordon, I 
hope  we can keep the discussion respectful. Dr. Gordon's post was an April 
 
Fool's joke and an obvious one at that - he was never actually claiming  
that 
the AAP president said those words. It's a long way from academic  
dishonesty - it's using satire to make a point. And I think it made the  
point very well.
