so what  kind of reference would you recommend that would start to turn 
this doctor¹s  opinion around?>>>>
Hi Linda,
 
not trivial at all, ...how frustrating to run into a professional  
healthcare provider with such idiotic notions about breastfeeding, how  clueless he 
has shown himself to be regarding lactation.
 
So, where oh where to start with such ignorance? I say "ignorance" out  of 
great annoyance that he is very likely spreading his contrived,  
ridiculously inaccurate information to his patients. Otherwise we could be more  
tolerate and say that he is merely, innocently, uneducated, and we/you are here  
to help. 
 
Lucky you had this conversation with him!
 
I guess one manageable way to start him on the road to enlightenment  
without taking up way too much of your time would be to give him a copy of Dr  
Jack Newman's book, and email address.
 
I'm sure you will get more specific recommendations from the LN  pros.
