I just heard a radio commercial for a major maker of AIM. The commercial was
geared toward pregnant women and promoted the hospital gift packs, urging
women to ask for them. The big reason why every woman would want one is the
"free" info about SIDS prevention contained w/in!!!! And there was some SIDS
prevention "organization" named as a collaborator, but I couldn't quite get
the name, since they just gave initials, so I have no idea if it was a real
agency. They managed to avoid mentioning breastfeeding as protective, of
course. Anyone else heard this and how far are these companies willing to go?!
