Our hospital got books as a "gift" from Abbott Nutrition  written by an IBCLC for the American Academy of Pediatrics...on the inside cover it states "A gift from Abbott Nutrition"...Abbott nutrition is the makers of Similac.  2 of our IBCLC says we cannot hand out at our hospital in breastfeeding bags as that is a conflict of IBCLC.  I see these books as educational and so I don't believe it would be a conflict...there are no pictures of bottles, pacifiers, or anything on them...very accurate information...etc.  There are no samples of formula or coupons that come with the book.  Am I being naive?  Is it a conflict?     I stated I would much rather an educational book go out as most people don't know Abbott Nutrition VS having pacifiers being handed out like candy on our floor.  Is there a conflict here because the link of Abbott Nutrition with similac.  Thank you for your input!!!
