I am in the process of getting together a report for my local hospital in
regards to the issues w/ formula discharge bags even if the formula has been
removed. I am having difficulty obtaining the research for bags not
containing formula being detrimental. Could anyone suggest any studies that
I could use for this?
Many thanks.

Subject: Hospital Formula Gift Bags
Desirree, if you are interested in learning how formula companies interact
with hospitals to get them to peddle formula, go to the Ban the Bags website
at www.banthebags.org. This will explain much about how and why commercial
gift bags are distributed by hospitals. If you have questions after reading
the material at this website please contact me as the co-chair of the Ban
the Bags campaign here in the US.
The newest trend seems to be formula companies providing bags without
formula samples so that hospitals don't have to worry about recording batch
numbers and the name of the patient the bag was given to in case there is a
recall. Exclusive breastfeeding is reduced whether or not there is a formula
sample in the commercial bag. Hospitals need to break their addiction to
formula company money and be accountable for delivering evidence-based
health care not acting as a shill for a product that can harm their patients
