The doc has actually encouraged her to breastfeed, but is concerned with the low weight and jaundice. She's not out to introduce evil formula, as she suggested it as a supplement so the kids can flush this jaundice out and actually catch up on growth development. Due to this, they (mom included, who can't bear the thought of her new babies going hungry) can't really risk waiting things out the hard way.
