I also saw the letter in the ABM newsletter. The AAP is heavily promoting
the MEDEM "free" websites. Apparently if a physician objects to the formula
ads on their "free" website, they are charged $30/month. I suspect that most
docs will opt for the "free" website instead of paying the fees.
I find the AAP's coziness with the formula industry to be very disturbing.
It certainly makes the AAP seem like hypocrites when they make statements
supporting breastfeeding and then accept megabucks from the formula industry.
