Hi, Ginger,

I'd post copies of the Code on Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes,
highlighting all the things they shouldn't be allowing in a hospital,
and make sure all the IBCLC's (& hopefuls) there have a copy of the
IBLCE Code of Ethics, one provision of which requires compliance with
the WHO code.
