I got a call from a representative from Wyeth (SMA, Nursoy). She wanted to come and see the breastfeeding clinic that I work in and to discuss her company's policies about breastfeeding support. She told me that Wyeth "belongs to the CODE" and that the company funds over 200 breastfeeding clinics. I was so shocked at that that I failed to ask where those clinics are. I am very upset at the idea of commercial baby milk companies funding breastfeeding clinics. It seems just as ridiculous as a tobacco company funding an asthma clinic. She told me that many healthcare professionals, in this time of budget restraint, are only too happy to accept funds to enable them to keep doing their work and that without these funds many clinics could not exist. I must admit that the conversation was rather unsettling as it was a local pediatrician who gave her my name. I could not work in a clinic funded in this way. What are your thoughts on this? Any good comebacks? Does anyone know of any Wyeth CODE violations besides giving out funding to healthcare facilities? --- Bill & Jacki Glover e-mail: [log in to unmask] Public Access Internet The University of Lethbridge
