Did they  know you are an RN?
That might have been a factor in the size of your  "gift".





No, actually with my now 7 yr old, I was still a nursing  student.  My other 
two of course I was an RN, but I don't believe they  asked my occupation on 
the little questionairre.  I could be wrong....Never  thought about that lol.  I 
do know lots of other moms, through LLL that  have received similar "gifts" 
and they marked the breast only box too.   Would be interesting to study what 
kind of "gifts" the different boxes marked  get you lol.  Oh and Carnation Good 
Start sent me a "baby's first year  calendar" and all kinds of neato stuff, 
of course it said very little about  breastfeeding and lots and lots about 
their "comfort proteins"  (How much  more comfortable can your proteins be from 
the breast??) Problem with that, was  I NEVER filled out or contacted that 
company in any way, so somehow the word  gets out.  Whether someone thought they 
were doing me a favor, or my Dr.  sold my name...whatever.  It is an uphill 
battle girls, those companies  KNOW who's pg and who isn't...and they target them 
BIG time.
