Subject: Reps bearing gifts

Hello All,
     I've not posted in a long time but remain a faithful reader.
Thought I 
would weigh in on the topic of reps bearing gifts .I recently became so
fed up 
with the machinations of the formula reps in our NICU that I decided we
could 
fight fire with fire. Our very generous breastpump rep has agreed to
give an 
electric pump with carrycase to our staff who are pregnant and planning
to 
breastfeed. It has generated a great deal of excitement among the staff
and 
already a few are back to work from their maternity leave and are loving
the 
efficiency of their new pump. These staff mommies are also sharing with
their 
patients about working and breastfeeding successfully. It has been a
good 
opportunity to promote breastfeeding among our staff , good PR for our
Rep, 
and has given breastfeeding a voice in the consumer wars around here.
