This just arrived.  I can't see that they addressed my concerns but I am
terribly dense.  Guess if I jumped off my chair when I got mail from someone
calling themselves 'Very Best Baby'.  Can't someone get them on that, even?
"Dear Ms. Myr,
Thank you for your letter expressing your concerns about our involvement in
the NBCi New
Mom Makeover Sweepstakes.

Our commitment to infant nutrition began in 1867, when Henri Nestlé
developed and introduced
a special mixture of nutritious natural ingredients for mothers who couldn't
breastfeed.  Henri
Nestlé maintained that a mother's breast milk is best for her baby.  This
foundation remains a core
belief at Nestlé today.

Nestlé's marketing principles and practices throughout the world comply with
the laws of every
country in which it does business.  We encourage mothers to breastfeed as
long as possible, with
consideration for their life circumstances.  If a mother chooses not to
breast feed, we believe that
formula is the best alternative to breast milk.

The best-known infant formula marketing guidelines are the International
Code of Marketing of
Breast-milk Substitutes developed by the World Health Organization in 1981,
known as the
WHO Code.  For information about how Nestlé complies with the WHO Code in
developing
countries and in other countries where the code is law, visit
www.babymilk.nestle.com.

Although the United States is not a signatory to the WHO Code, Nestlé abides
by the aim of the
Code and our advertising states that breast milk is best.

We appreciate you contacting us and we wish you the very best.

Sincerely,

Robyn Wimberly, R.D., L.D.
Manager, Consumer Services
Ref: 6647552"
