I think getting non-formula companies to
sponsor bf rooms is a good idea, but one should
be cautious. First, I am wary of pump companies,
I think they provide an important service to bf
moms, but they are profit making ventures and
sometimes I have the feeling that, in our need
to be in control and have a predictable schedule,
pumping takes the place of putting our babies to
the breast.

In general, we are inundated with advertising.
New moms need to get to know their babies and
not be thinking about the products that they
"need" in order to do that.

Having said that, Toys R Us is better than
Mead Johnson, but this should be carefully thought
out and planned.

Just my .02 on this one.
