Hi all especially Pam,

I just had to laugh when I read that the formula company rep said that Ruth
Lawrence had looked over their handouts. She recently co-authored a paper on
the practices of obstetricians regarding breastfeeding that stated that using
literature produced by formula companies is inconsistent with the promotion of
breastfeeding by the OBs. Yeah, I'll bet Ruth Lawrence has seen the handouts.
That does *not* mean that she approves!

Warmly,

PS: Somebody ought to tell Dr Lawrence about what this guy is saying.
