While I was on hold the other day I was listening to the recording and it was like "let our peds help you choose your baby's formula" "Formula ensures your baby gets good nutrition" "make sure you feed your baby the formula for the entire first year" etc...
I know my own personal ped is pro-BF - he has 5 kids and his wife BF all of them... but its a group of 10 or so.
ANy advice on how to word it?

Send a copy of the relevent passages of the WHO Code.

Send a copy of "How to know if your doctor is not supportive of breastfeeding" or whatever the title is.

I'd actually send another letter as well, to your pro-bfing ped expressing that you are grateful he has been supportive.

YES! YES! YES! Your ped probably doesn't even know WHAT's on the message. It probably comes from some central source. Absolutely tell him/her. Tell the doc to listen to the message for themselves.
