I completely agree with you that a patient has to be her own advocate.I'm sure that you have been doing a lot of "research" on this subject, but unfortunately there is a lot of incorrect information out there on the internet and therefore unreliable. Doing thorough research takes a lot of time and effort , and unles you are a DR. or know all of the medical journals, it might be difficult for you to obtain relevant medical information that most people don't have access to or know about.I know that there are a lot of benefits to breastfeeding and I don't think anyone was disputing that.

What I find disturbing here is that you and Emma actually believe that you are experts on the topic just because you have read several articles on it. Anyone can find information to back up there side, it doesn't mean that another very valid opinion doesn't exist. I find it almost humorous that after reading a few articles over the internet you think you are qualified to tell a Dr. his information is annacurate.It's obvious you don't know what real research entails, nor what it means to have an open mind.I would love to see someone learn from their mistkae as well!
