BFing is that uncommon?

DD had her 2 month checkup today and her pediatrician asked me what kind of formula she's on. Just automatically assumed I was feeding her formula. I told her I was feeding her breast milk and she looked surprised and said, oh, that's all? Ummm yeah? She seemed pleasantly surprised and said to keep doing it, but I didn't expect for her to be surprised in the first place.

The last time I was there (Ivy's 5 day checkup) I had an ugly cry over BFing problems and she tried giving me a whole case of formula. When I turned it down, she gave me a prescription for nipple cream that helped a ton, but couldn't she have started with that? 

Is BFing really that rare or does DD have a weird doctor?
