There is a poster hanging in our locker room for staff to sign up who 
wish to attend Mead-Johnson's   Dinner......

The MD speaker will talk on DHA and ARA etc. and  the study results 
comparing premi's, full term , and breastmilk comparisons.  The dinner 
out at a fine local resturant is drawing nurses out of the woodwork. It 
seems like everyone is going!!!  I AM GOING!  I want to know what he is 
saying /First Hand./

What  might I expect?   I honest to God think he might suggest that 
their formula results score higher than human milk!  I heard from last 
years that they compared diffferent countries, and if you lived away 
from the seacoast, your breastmilk omega levels were low ........but 
their formula's was high, and their graphs and chart results show it.  
Something like that anyway.  They will have the ear of a majority of our 
staff nurses.

Who has been to one of these already.  Can you help me out?  How can I 
turn this into an opportuinity to promote breastfeeding without turning 
people off?   If I can, I hope to take this dinner as an opportunity for 
breastfeeding promotion. 

And I will let you all know how it turns out.  Have a few weeks to plan 
ahead.  June 15th I think was the date.
