I went to the C J foundation web site and indeed C J foundation and mead Johnson are sharing a web site and are partners. This is so despicable and unethical. There are indeed 6 steps to reduce the risk of SIDS. I have made a copy of this page. I will be going to the hospital folks with this page and the tag hanging from the diaper bags with the 5 ways (excluding breastfeeding) next week. This may be a very good way to get the diaper bags out for a while. I think I might go straight to our ethics commitee with this one. I suggest you all do the same. On the web site they are making a big deal about these SIDS safety tip tags hanging from the bags and Mead Johnson is "proudly" giving out " 2.5 million " bags a year. I'm sick.......
