Brenda,
 
I was called the breastfeeding nazi behind my back several years ago, and  
thought that the name-calling had stopped. About a year ago, a doctor called me  
that (actually thinking she was being kind!) in a patient's room. I was quite 
 alarmed at that, told her that was unacceptable. I told her that I don't 
kill  anyone, and that my dad fought nazis in world war II. To top it off, the 
doctor  is Jewish, and lost an aunt in a concentration camp! 
 
I guess the name calling with using nazis came from that one Seinfeld  
episode. I see it as totally unacceptable. 
 
We don't kill anyone, especially babies. We don't perform experiments on  
anyone. The name-calling, especially that name, is cause for an official  
complaint at your work.
 
Meanwhile, your code of ethics as a lactation consultant won't allow you to  
attend "education" sponsored by the formula company. Period.

To make  a VERY long story short, this evidently opened up a can of worms 
that I wasn't  expecting. My boss became extremely defensive and angry, accused 
me of being a  "Nazi", and told me that not only does she expect the LCs to be 
supportive of  the Mead Johnson reps coming in with their education, that she 
expects me to  attend all of the lectures as part of my job.
