Gosh, this is pretty light on information, and as you say, the infant 
feeding stuff is very poor. *Really* poor.

There are no ads, but my guess is they are hoping to make money by 
charging hospitals, ob/gyns, paedistricians to be in their listings.

The way to assess if a formula manufacturer is behind something is to 
look at the branding - if there is a formula with similar colours to 
this website (pink, green, blue pastels) then that's your funder :)

In this case the people behind this site are Health Management, INC 
(see the privacy policy page) who seem to be recruiters for the 
health sector. http://hmi-usa.com/

There may be formula money in the site as well - who knows?
