Ds's babysitter caught strep. A week later ds (19 mos) and I came down with a cold & sore throat. I called dr appt for a throat culture. Our reg ped wasn't available so they gave me an appt with their newest dr. Dh was with us at appt and when the new ped asked what was going on, dh told her the situation and added that ds was still bfing. (I don't even know why he mentioned it). The dr. turned and went, "Allright!! That's great!! You are to be congratulated for sticking it out and bf'ing your son! That's why he's so healthy and so cute!" And then she proceeded to go on a little more about all the benefits of bf'ing. Ds, (thank you!) was on his absolute BEST behavior with her. Opened his mouth when she asked, took the swab like a champ, stood still on the scale and smiled, etc. She told him he was the best 19 mo old she had seen and he was lucky to have such a good mommy. The culture came back neg and she attributed it to his bf'ing and told us to keep up the good work. I was shocked. Did I come down with strep, pass out and wake up in an alternate ap reality???? 
My reg ped isn't anti bf'ing but she's not crunchy, ap etc. in any way shape or form. If ap was granola...she'd be a twinkie, KWIM? I was so pleased to be praised for my efforts. And I was even more pleased that she was sincere and happy for my ds! Hooray for good peds!
