Good luck with your meeting, Brenda.

Your director may be receptive to the notion that the bags advertise 
only one brand, so as well as promoting formula  and undermining 
breastfeeding (which is why you want to get rid of them) they are 
giving the hospital's approval to this one brand, without any 
evidence it is 'better' than any other brand.  Formula feeding 
mothers should be free to choose a formula on health grounds, not 
because they have been persuaded  by marketing activity.

It is a 'selling point' that the unit will refuse to allow its 
mothers to be used as a  commercial 'audience' for a branded product.
