How can this clearly dedicated and warm paediatrician not see why 
healthcare providers and facilities should not hand out free formula 
samples?

Ihave posted on the thread, and tried to explain that you know....the 
sky doesn't fall in if mothers don't get free samples of formula.

Could it be part of a 'rescue mentality' when HCPs actually *want* to 
be that knight in shining armour galloping over the horizon? 'Oh, 
thank you doctor, for saving me and my baby'???? Or is that a mad 
idea?

We stopped free samples here decades ago, and would you believe it, 
mothers don't love their HCPs any less for not getting 'free' samples.
