.Debi says:
"now I would love to persuade the physician's offices to stop
offering information about the free diaper bags  they will get in
the
hospital.  It makes it hard when a patient insists on receiving her
"free
gift for breastfeeding mothers from the X formula company".  They
act as if
we are denying them something that is owed to them."

This is another ploy by the formula companies.  Since some hospitals
are refusing to do their advertising for them, they get these
"coupons" to the moms ahead of time so moms ask for the bags in the
hospital.  You're right, the moms are miffed if we don't immediately
exchange the coupon as if they were getting ten cents off a bottle
of detergent at the grocery store!  Those guys are really good at
what they do!  Too bad what they do is so "bad".
