Why Are Some Pediatricians So Clueless When It Comes To Breastfeeding?

My baby’s doctor is actually very supportive of breastfeeding, but I hear horrible, and sometimes ridiculous things from other moms. Like my cousin whose doctor told her that her milk wouldn’t be any good for the baby after four months. So she stopped nursing all her kids at four months old. And my friend, who says after a year the milk turns to water, and it’s not healthy or appropriate for the baby to be breastfed past a year, and it might jeopardize her health, physically and emotionally. And of course if a woman breastfeeds past a year, and in my cousin’s case past 4months, her teeth will fall out, and her bones will become brittle.
How come their information is so wrong? Have you had such experiences?
