The person who put himself on the line to create the milk bank in Austin is a wonderful neonatologist named Sonny Rivera. We have at least 4 other neos here who have done everything including moving furniture and pasteurizing milk to help the milk bank. People like Dr. Wight publish all over the place trying to advance bfg education. Therefore, it pains me to see neonatologists all tarred with the same brush. I think I would be very insulted and really hurt if I heard a doctor say that LCs were dumber than dirt. Our job is not to alienate but to educate. When I was a girl I loved a story called The Water Babies. There were two fairies in that story: Mrs. Do-As-You-Would-Be-Done-By and Mrs. Be-Done-By-As-You-Did. One was gentle and one rather stern; both taught the exact same moral lesson. Vigorous dissent, backed by evidence, experience, or observation and shared in the spirit of advancement of breastfeeding is stimulating. Venting and name calling in public places is impolitic and does not serve our cause.
