My friends,
   I'm sure I won't be the only person responding to this reply from the AAP
about their booklet being handed out and stamped with the Ross insignia.
Are they crazy?  They must be incredibly dense to think it's OK for the
enemy of BF to pass out appropriate BF info.  The AAP doesn't get it do
they?  I would think that the working group that wrote the Statement
"Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk" would be screaming. They worked
hard on that and we all applauded the work.  Now to find out that the
greater association would water this all down by allowing the Ross Co to
pass it out. I'm agast!
   The USA, ironically(that we are THE developed country) is so behind in
their support for BF.  The rest of the world must look on us and laugh.
What happened to ethics?  What happened to doing the morally correct thing
because it's the right thing to do?  The dollar talks so loudly it screws up
the ethics of the best of us...?even the AAP?
   Somehow we'll have to keep out head up....at least we all have each
other!                  Betsy Wells-Gephart RN, IBCLC
