This reminded me, I got a food package after the birth of my first baby, no
formula samples, no formula *breastfeeding* books, just a nice little
basket.  It was a small picnic style basket, small jar spaghetti sauce,
noodles, two apples, and a couple of rolls, also included very precise
instructions for Dad to make this nutricious meal for Mom when she got
home.  I'd totally forgotten it, came from Arnold Palmer Hospital for Women
and Children in Orlando, FL.
