We have canvas bags printed with our name and hospital logo. They are very
attractive -- an apple 'tree of life'.

 We put into it a folder with breastfeeding information: a sample LLLI New
Beginnings magazine, LLL local meeting notices, LLLI catalogue, the Motherwear
catalogue, Medela's Tear off sheets on breastfeeding, local breastfeeding
resources, a price list of lactation supplies available through the hospital; Amy
Spangler's Breastfeeding, A Parent's Guide, and some freebies such as baby
wipes or wash - whatever odds and ends we receive that do not have the Logo of an
infant food or formula company.  It also has our own reference booklet on
caring for your baby after you leave the hospital.
