Wow, that is some really irresponsible pediatric advice to Patymomof5.

I normally think that pediatric advice can vary in usefulness and that one shouldn't switch doctors merely over some not-up-to-complete snuff advice now and again (hey, my ped gave me some pretty rotten bf advice, which I promptly ignored) but that is so completely out of the realm of acceptable that I would be looking for a new pediatrician. Immediately. That kind of completely bizarre (and dangerous) advice calls into question the entire credibility of the pediatrician.
