Renee,
You stated: 
"....Although I feel it is a violation of ethics, obviously some do not.   How many other people work for a company that is hired to work with negatively impacting Breastfeeding Company?..."

I could not agree with you more. Let's also not forget the connection that Abbott Nutrition has with Prolacta Bioscience: 

"....Abbott Nutrition entered into a co-promotion agreement with Prolacta Bioscience, a life science company that creates specialty formulations made from human milk for the nutritional needs of premature and critically ill infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). This co-promotion agreement will help to make human milk-based nutritional products more widely available for health care professional use in the NICUs of hospitals across the U.S...." http://prolacta.com/faq_abbott.php?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=prolacta&utm_content=sample&utm_campaign=Branded

Which again brings me to consider the ethics of IBCLCs who work for Prolacta milk banks. Somehow I can not figure that out.
Sincerely,
Donna More' LLL, RN, IBCLC
