Thanks for alerting us all to this, Marsha. Looks like a modern
version of the old 'mothercraft nurses' employed by formula companies
to 'advise' mothers. Scarey stuff!

Can we fit this activity into the WHO Code???? Seems that it would
fit easily into Articles 4 (Information and Education) & 5 (The
General Public and Mothers), and even maybe 6 (Health Care Systems)
if it promoted by HCPs.
