Hi all

I have a new boss that hasn't a clue on Maternal Child Health or
breastfeeding.  Myself, other LCs and the other breastfeeding supporters on
my floor have been trying to keep formula bags out of our hospital but this
boss wants them back in.  She sent me this statement today and I need your
help in find the references to at least dispute her statement.  I'm trying
to be cool but my blood pressure is rising.



"There is no evidence in the literature that indicates if a hospital gives
out bags from formula companies that they have influenced a mother's choice.
The decision to breastfeed is not influenced by a bag"



Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
