OAKLAND/Baby formula protest planned/Breast-feeding advocates to protest at
maker's dinner
Charles Burress, Chronicle Staff Writer
Saying baby-formula freebies jeopardize infants' well-being by
discouraging breast-feeding, a group of health-care workers plans to
protest at a dinner that a leading formula company is giving tonight in
Oakland.
Free formula and hospital-discharge bags that formula firms are giving to
new mothers, as well as gifts to health-care providers, violate the World
Health Organization code of conduct and promote a bias toward breast-milk
substitutes, say members of the Alameda County Breastfeeding Coalition.
There is more - a pretty good article.....
