Why do people think they know more than doctors?

Dude I'm just pointing out a fact here. You may think babies can do well without but I think it is still a source of concern. By proper sub, I was not at all thinking of a donor bank lol.

Your 'fact' is skeptical at best. There are thousands of babies every year that don't get any breastmilk and do fine in life. It's not a matter of me thinking anything. I've seen the children who were formula fed. No, it's not ideal, but as a pediatrician, I'm not going to push my moms to find a "proper sub" or scare them into breastfeeding. It's a difficult thing to do, even for those who have an intense desire to do it. And in this day and age, we don't have wet nurses readily available, especially for low income mothers.
