As a staunch supporter of bf, I have eliminated all commercially produced
literature given to new moms as well as videos.  My problem is that I cannot
convince my fellow staff members to hault distribution of the gift packs from
American Baby Basket and First Moments.  Thet say they feel it doesn't
detract from bf because we only give them to PP moms who for the most part
have already made their decision to bf.  I have told them of the studies
which show early weaning when bf moms are given ABM packs, so everyone has
quit distributing ABM discharge packs to bf moms, but we continue to
distribute to moms who are using ABM.  They fail to see the connection
between ABM literature and early weaning.  Can anyone give me some pointers?
 I had thought about bringing up the fact that the ABM companies are using us
as Marketing Salespersons and not paying us.  Has anyone used this line with
success?  Also, what does everyone else do with AMB discharge packs?
