I don't have to do this but of course the mothers I see have often consulted
health professionals who are influenced by formula reps presentations.

I should imagine that the hardest part of presentations is keeping calm.
If I had to do it I think I would
Take copious notes
Take 2  pre written envelopes and notepaper with me
Put any who code breaches including the reps presentation itself if
appropriate onto the notepaper.
Mail to the formula company and my local politician, keeping anonymous if my
job was at risk and explaining this.
Move on
Do the same thing next time

The reason for the notes would be to casually drop in the benefits of
breastfeeding on the areas mentioned by the rep when talking to colleagues.
If you are allowed to present breastfeeding in the same way that reps do to
colleagues respond to the last month's presentation or whenever using last
months notes rather than try for a response immediately without any
preparation.

I was presented to in this way as a pregnant mother 6 years ago and was too
frightened to complain about it. Hope you all are braver than me.
