Dear Lacnetter's,

Here's is a quote from Baby Milk action that will make your toes curl and
kind of says it all:

http://www.babymilkaction.org/press/press31july03.html

"Companies spend at least £12 million per year on booklets, leaflets, and
other promotions, much in the guise of ‘education materials’ - aprox £20 per
baby born. The Government spends about 14 pence per new-born each year
promoting breastfeeding."

The page provided in the link above is also worth a read to refresh the
minds about formula's and marketing - if needs refreshing like mine did.

groetjes
