Not exactly that, but I have heard it advocated by more than one source that informed consent should be obtained before bottle-feeding is allowed, due to the increased risks of formula feeding. Perhaps medicine is coming to this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
