Dear all: Perhaps I was mistaken. Perhaps I misread something. However, I was under the impression that we were not allowed to advertise on Lactnet. That means to promote a product that will generate an income for a a for profit institution or sell a product for ourselves. I have never seen a formula advertisement on Lactnet. I have never seen a pump company representative on Lactnet. I have never seen a Pump Company representative on Lactnet. I have never seen a bottle company representative on Lactnet. I have seen people apologize when they talk about a product and they clearly state that they have no financial interest in the product. I have seen people use initials when talking about a product. I have seen one person who sells breastfeeding products provide a critique of why she cannot endorse a particular product on Lactnet - and that's about it. I guess the rules have changed or they were not what I thought they were. If it is true that for profit institutions are allowed to give self-endorsements of their own services or products on Lacnet, this listserve is not what I though it was.
