Dear Lactnetters,
I have searched the archives (and internet sites) before this post.  I am
looking for some concrete articles/editorials/write-ups/policies that
simply explian why handing out "american baby" and the like (ie: Baby Talk
from the publishers of Parenting)is not in the best interest of a public
health departement.  Baby friendly is too hospital specific (obviously) and
this advertising isn't specific to actual formula samples vs the formula
ads nestled b/w "breastfeeding articles".  Could you please help me find
some resources clearly stating the adverse effects "american baby" code
violations have on it's vulnerable target audience... and the ethical
considerations for an entity promoting health distributing the like?
I am grateful for the plethora of expertise on LACTNET.
Sincerely,
Marusia kachkowski, BSN, RN, PHN, IBCLC
