Claudia,
  There is a lot of research out there on this topic. Marsha Walker  
has done a lot of work in reviewing all the research and putting it  
in easy to read and understand terms for people who want to help but  
are too busy to do a full lit. review. Take a look at "Selling Out  
Mothers and  Babies: Marketing Breast Milk Substitutes in the USA"  
It's put out by NABA, I think you can order it from their website. It  
has a lot of the information you are looking for in clear concise  
language.

For your own information, I found "Holding Corporations Accountable:  
corporate conduct, International codes, and citizen action", by  
Judith Richter (2001, Zed books) very informative.

Hope this is helpful, I'm interested to see what other people  
recommend as well.
