intro/pedi advice question

Hi ya'all. i have a 9.5month old dd and yesterday was her 9month check up. the receptionist made a mistake at our last appt and made her appt with a different pedi than who she normally see's.
he was happy to hear she has met all of her milestones (crawls well, pulls to stand, just started creeping, knows what 'no' is, responds to her name.. etc) and then he asked about her sleeping patterns. i told him that she still wakes 2-3 times to nurse, and then SO proceeds to tell him that we co-sleep and that he thinks that ourLO is just a light sleeper. the pedi then tells us me that i shoudnt nurse her at night anymore because she has two teeth now and he is worried about tooth decay. so he said just brush her teeth after her bedtime feeding and then just rub her back anytine she wakes up during the night.. he also told us to break her of sleeping with us now.. and basically said to let her CIO, go in and check on her but don't turn on the light or pick her up.
now.. I'm all for her sleeping in her crib, and out of our bed.. its the stopping nursing during the night I'm more conserned about. have any of your pedi's told you to do this? I'm not really sure if its possible, lo loves to comfort suck so i think its that more than anything.. she has never sttn. can this affect her adult teeth? have any of you been told anything simular? Advice? Success stories? Thanks in advance girls!

Re: intro/pedi advice question
@Audrey1787 thank you ill def read that! Yeah..i never really thought of listening to the pedi regarding bfing. especially since he is not her normal pedi. the regular doc never even asked about motn feedings.. i never minded bed-sharing or motn feedings but lately i think she isn't waking because she's hungry but just for comfort and if this is the case then i wouldn't mind weaning her. it will be easier now then months down the road and we plan ttc in a year or so and id definitely like her to sttn and in her own room by then. thanks for the advice!
@Asbromle .. good to know I'm not alone! I think for the most part ill be ignoring this advice as well.
You didn't quite follow forum etiquette so don't be surprised if you get a few less than welcoming responses. If you join in and give support (especially now that you've received some) then you'll be fine. Please just don't use us as your own personal Google. We're real people and have formed quite the bond over the last 18 months. But welcome and I hope you stick around so we can get to know you.

1. My name is krystal and my little girls name is melody rose.
2. I am a stay at home mom, was a student until I got pregnant and will eventually be an x-ray tech.
3. I wasn't really looking for professional advice, more so success sttn stories and stories of what's worked for you and your lo.
4.chocolate? Yes. yoga pants? Yes. wine? Not so much. I don't drink often. when I do a mixed drink does just fine.
5. I am a big fan of proper grammer, unfortunately I'm always gunna be on mobile so I will make a few errors.
I don't have much advice to give since LO is EFF and has been STTN for awhile now. But agree with others that you have to do what works best for you and your family. Maybe come back and see the regular pedi and see his/her thoughts, if it makes a difference.
Stick around. The girls mean well.
Sorry I forgot to tag @Chunkymonkeylvr in that last post. You're right, you were nice. I was replying to when you said I was being rude to @Chunkymonkeylvr, which I don't think I was.

And you girls missed the (sp) grammer= grammar faux pas. Shame on you!
It's a little rough for newbs around here, especially if you don't 'follow the forum etiquette' (which, by the way, seem to change on a weekly basis). Now that you've intro'd, just make sure you're giving back to the community. I suggest checking out the daily spam thread (titled, PS I Love Spam, today) and start there. And maybe HDBD if you don't mind sharing pics of Melody.
The July 2013 mamas are awesome, really. Learn and grow with us.

HDBD?
My pedi hasn't mentioned anything about no MOTN feedings so I can't share and advice there. Looking forward to getting to know you.
