I haven't checked in here in a few days, so I don't know if this has shown up
already, but I just found this info.
Apparently on the Today show last week, they where they were talking about
babymooning--a holiday before the baby is born according to the story, not a
babymoon for mom and baby to get to know each other like what I associate
with that term. Anyway, the reporter was talking with a travel expert about
lavish vacation packages that cater to expectant moms. I don't know how it
came to be w/ the Today Show and mentioning this hotel but somewhere
along the lines this place came up:
http://www.plantersinn.com/packages.htm
This hotel website states "Stylish, insulated backpack complete with Nestle
baby formula, baby bottle, and information about infant care, all courtesy of
Nestle" in its description of what is included with the babymoon package:
How disturbing that Nestle finds yet another dirty way to violate the code,
target and sabatoge expectant mothers bf goals, and get free advertising!
I will definitely be writing a letter, as it is very likely that the hotel does not
even realize the WHO code exists, why it exists, and that they are violating
it.
