Talked with a nurse at a local hospital - She commented about another
hospital that just became a Baby Friendly hospital and did an all out
breastfeeding campaign.

Her comment was that her only problem with the Baby Friendly program was
taking out the free samples and paying for formula.  She thought the
community would complain if they didn't get their free sample.  Also thought
buying formula would definately hurt their budget.

What would you say to a hospital making these comments?
