It could be  a great opportunity to suggest they speak to the formula reps 
about the new  guidelines on mixing powdered formula, and the new guidelines to 
use ready to  feed formula if the baby is under 2 months of age, but not to 
use the canned  ready to feed, as the lining contains too  much

The booklet by WHO, I think does give guidelines for boiling water and  
cooling, etc. I don't know one parent who got these guidelines, or any, from  their 
pediatrician or hospital. Pediatricians seem to be telling parents it is  
fine not to sterilize or boil water, etc. and fine to use canned powdered  
formula, in the US where I live anyway. Still, I give them the best info I  have. Is 
there a pamphlet guideline that outlines not using powdered formula in  
infants under 2 months of age, and not using the canned stuff, in one place?  
Parents seem to get bits of information here and there, some of it wrong, some  
stuff they just never get informed about. It would be great to have a handout  
from the AAP or something with everything all in one place. Any chance the AAP  
has anything like this or could prepare it? Parents sure need it and they 
sadly  don't take it seriously if as their breastfeeding support person I am the 
only  one telling them. I hear parents chalking it up to "breastfeeding people 
want to  make it harder for moms who don't breastfeed", while the local peds 
seem fine  making it easier, and see no risks at all.
