Susan,
 In the US formula companies "invest" in hospital nurseries all the time, as
was recently discussed on Lacnet, and the price is terribly high. We observe
the WHO Code and would consider any relationship with  a formula company to
be a violation. When one sees what happens to preemies on formula feeds, it
feels like taking money from a tobacco company.

Yeechh!
