Andrea has asked where to find the original references regarding the  
Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition's statements on the organizations that  have 
called for an end to this hospital distribution of formula gift bags. All  of 
the references are on our website.
 
AAP statement comes from:
 
American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement. Breastfeeding and the use  
of human milk. Pediatrics 2005; 115:496-506
 
CDC talks about this in:
 
Shealey KR, et al. The CDC guide to breastfeeding interventions. Atlanta,  
GA: US Department of Health and Human Services, 2005
 
HHS Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding, Washington, DC. US Department of  
Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health, 2000
