Mead Johnson, Nestle, and Ross are usually front and center at the AAP's 
national (and local) meetings with the biggest booths possible and are 
considered by many (otherwise very well educated, progressive and open 
minded) pediatricians as "supportive of breastfeeding".
I am not sure about 2013, but in the previous years Nestle was 
sponsoring lanyards officially given at the AAP national conferences at 
the time of registration and a lot of attendees were choosing colorful 
soft Nestle lanyards rather then the simple black thin ropes provided by 
the Academy as an alternative :(

Just wondering - how many hospitals in NJ are giving out "gift" bags?
I know that St. Peter's and Robert Wood Johnson are not...
