Yesterday, during a home visit, a gentle father calmly stated, "I don't understand how a hospital can say they support breastfeeding and tell you it's the best for your baby and then give you free samples of formula and pacifiers in their bed." I wanted to jump up and kiss him but instead I calmly (it was hard to restrain myself) told him and the mom that when they had the wherewithall they could write those exact words in a letter to the hosp administrator, etc. I also told him he sounded like a poster to Lactnet. It made my day-would like to clone him but also feel badly that he was in a position to have to make such a statement in the first place.
