Why is it that we allow the formula companies to enter our lives?

We have the ability to block unwanted direct mail advertising to a great
degree and he ability to block phone solicitors with recorded messages.

Shouldn't all new moms have the right to "opt out" of receiving unwanted
marketing by formula companies?  I think if both OB/GYNs, Pediatricians,
Midwives, our insurance carriers and hospitals are told they will be sued for
harassment and invasion of privacy if contacted by the formula company reps,
then it has a real possibility of ending.

One strategic suit with a big award for sabotaging the baby from
breastfeeding is all it would take.
