Your hospital and the ob-gyn's office will probably tell your that "no they don't give that information out to anyone." I asked both places in my city about 5 years ago, and they were very insistent that they in no way give out names and addresses on the mothers or births. I was curious as to how to get a list of mothers to be or new births but asked as in a manner to find out how the ABM companies got my name, because I really did receive free cases of formula, coupons, etc. with the births of my two boys. So, it was a legitimate question. But I know they had me fill out the postcard for the free teddy bear the first time and now in the ob's office there is a pad right on the counter, where you make appointments and pay, that asks for all of that information about due date, name, address, breast, bottle or both, etc. Cheryl Marian *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
