Re: "Survey shows doctors less supportive of breast-feeding."
All physicians - particularly obstetrician-gynecologists, family physicians and pediatricians - owe it to their patients to promote and support breast-feeding.
Enhanced physician education is needed, but it is only part of the solution. Public demand for breast-feeding should force physicians and hospitals to do the right thing. All hospitals should end marketing of formula by stopping the practice of giving formula bags to new mothers.
