Just for infomation...Tennessee WIC did give the bid to Nestle
(Carnation) for our formula this year.  Many of our pediatricians in
town are not wanting to use it because they are more familiar with Ross
& MJ formulas (and their reps :).  Also, it causes problems because
Nestle does not make a premie formula or specialty formulas, such as
Pregestimil or Alimentum.  So WIC has to provide formula vouchers for
different companies' formulas.
