I think those of us all over the US who see hundreds of expectant and new
families every month might like to know the infant feeding policy,
guidelines, recommendations of some AAP's competing organizations, like the
professional organization of Family Practice docs.  Are any of these
competing organizations also sleeping with the enemy? Are they also in
cahoots with formula companies? OR do they have a higher standard of ethics
and sense of conflict of interest than this recent AAP fiasco implies?
