In private practice, my breastfeeding devices retail business and pump
depot was necessary.  When I moved to Hattiesburg, seven years ago I
brought with me my pump depot and breastfeeding devices sales business.  A
year later I was employed with the state department of health as the
coordinator of the breastfeeding program for a nine county district.  I was
told very soon after .... you must not keep the business.  Even though I
felt I could keep things separate the administrator did not want any
possible conflict of interest.  I do not regret giving up this business.
My philosophy is ... be beyond reproach.  Don't get into a situation that
it could ever be conceived that you might be doing something you shouldn't.
 Breastfeeding advocates, for the most part, are looked upon as being a
little left of left or people are just not sure how to take us.  I don't
want to even appear to give them any ammunition.  Camille Foretich
