Well said, Marsha.
I wanted to say that my staff almost 100% of the time comes back from
these presentations telling me that the rep giving the talk starts out with a
somewhat lengthy discussion on how breastmilk is best and that formula is
second best (they are almost trying to defend their reasons for attending).
Despite this nod to "breast is best", the staff come away feeling better about
giving formula to the infants on the unit. I just can't seem to make them
understand the marketing that is going on, and I feel quite hopeless that I will
ever get through to them.
