Kathy A. says:
'HOWEVER, I agree with the posters who feel that such donation implies that
formula is ok to give to babies. '
No, Kathy, this is *not* why I (and others) think donation is inappropriate
- not at all!
It's not a judgement on the quality of formula, or whether it is ok, or not
ok, to give to babies.
It is not appropriate to *market* the formula in this way - that is all.
All mothers - poor, rich, homeless, whatever - have the right to make
choices unimpaired by marketing tactics.
And as health workers, we should abide by the WHO code.
That means no donations, diverted, or not.
