<<Ann Altshuler`s posting is very disturbing for many reasons.  But at
the 
source of the problem is the distribution.  How does the formula company

know which households have newborn babies? >>

Very likely the formula company is getting the addresses/names from the
photo service that goes to hospitals to take pictures of newborns; also
perhaps from baby gift registries at stores.
