I had alot of trouble BFing with my daughter and she was losing weight rapidly. My ped. told me to supplement BFing with formula, and although, I didn't want to do it, I also didn't want her to die.
However, when I contacted the lactation specialist at the hospital for some extra advice, she treated me like I was a child-abuser for giving my baby formula twice a day.
The LLL is maniacal in my opinion.
