For what it's worth--and that depends very much on the
          socioeconomic/cultural, perhaps legislative, environment--it
          may be useful to refer to the simple, straightforward 7-line
          paragraph on p. 24 (of the English version) of the joint
          WHO/UNICEF statement on breast-feeding and the role of
          maternity services (WHO, 1989), to wit:  <In some countries
          it is a common practice in maternity services to provide
          mothers, on discharge, with a variety of baby- and
          personal-care products that have been supplied free of
          charge by commercial enterprises.  The competent authorities
          should ensure that such "discharge packs" contain nothing
          that might interfere with the successful initiation and
          establishment of breast-feeding, for example feeding bottles
          and teats [nipples], pacifiers and infant formula.>
