I've seen some problems you have there in the US with these free samples
still being given.
Here in the UK you probably know from previous postings that this is illegal
until you get to formula for babies over 6 months old.
On another tack, our local hospital had formula vending machines installed
on the maternity wards. A quick ring round by me telephoning the national
newspapers and local TV produced a lot of interest. My local paper called me
back to say they wouldn't be running the story as, guess what, the machine's
had just been removed!
If you complain,sometimes they do do what you ask. Even if they don't they
will be more likely to do it when the next person complains.
Regards and encouragement
