Both hospitals in our city have eliminated the formula bags as we are both in the process of becoming baby friendly. I overheard the Ross salesman tell the nurse manager the other day that they intend to have classes for those "bottle feeding mothers". They will advertise in the newspaper and will be giving out the formula bags at these classes. As hospitals get wiser we can be sure that the formula companies will do more direct marketing. I found it interesting that the rep told the nurse manager. I still sense a lot of allegience from the nursing management toward the formula reps. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] 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.
