Marsha,
I appreciate your statement:
"Since when do we let formula companies dictate health policy and nursing care
to our new mothers and babies? The BFHI is right on target when it identifies
this practice as a system barrier to breastfeeding. If a mother can be
convinced to supplement with formula it creates a new customer where there was
none before. Marketing is marketing--just say no."

Any ideas on confronting another "system barrier to breastfeeding" which is WIC's handout of free formula??
