If this is how Nestlé 'supports' breastfeeding, then I assume that the
employees get six months of maternity leave, so that the free pump rental
covers the baby in the second half of the first year? Otherwise, the
breastfeeding mothers are punished in that their employer only gives them
half what the formula feeding mothers are rewarded with.  Giving away
formula is in violation of the WHO Code.  I don't care how nice the room for
expressing milk is, this is not an employer who shows unequivocal support
for babies' right to normal food.
From Renee DiGregorio's post about Nestlé's pumping room:
"...employee attended saying that each employee is given the choice of 1
year free formula or six months free pump rental and of course use of the
facility."
