Has everyone known this but me??  We give out the "formula company
diaper bags", gag me.  I guess they must all be designed  for
breastfeeding moms, gag me more.  We have a policy that no "formula" be
given out to breastfeeding moms, if the nurses honor the policy they
still give out this bags!  One of my nursing friends discovered they
have a lovely little booklet about breastfeeding in them.  It IS a nice
booklet, it is exerpts from K. Higgins, Nursing Mothers Companion.  As I
have said before, are we losing a never ending battle here?  I was
shocked, am I just naive?

Recently, they also put on a conference, locally, about the first 10 min
of life, don't know the speakers name right now.  She was excellent,
according to those who went.  They really put on the "Ritz".  They had
fake jewels at the tables, etc.  People were just lapping it up.  My
friend said it would have made me ill.
