[ID] 447 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: breastfeeding mother [Comment] In my experience, if have found the routine advice given by my daughter's pediatrician and nurses is contradictory to the advice of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, IBCLCs. Some examples of this advice include start rice cereal and solid foods prior to 6 months, feed solids first, then nurse, offer 6 and 7 oz bottles per feeding. The research provided by IBCLCs is very clear that these practices are damaging to both mother's supply and health of the baby. We so often look to our pediatricians as experts in all things baby. However, they lack solid breastfeeding education. Educate our doctors and you'll help educate our mothers. [Topic]
