Megan,

<< I  actually already received a response back from a Mead Johnson rep who
 calims that they are only advertising their product to compete with other  F
companies, and that they "support and promote breastfeeding in many  ways."
>>

I would ask them how they do this? What products or information do they put
out that actually encourages people and provides correct info and skill set
development? I don't consider lip service on a can of formula, or in ads, about
"breast milk is best but if you cannot or choose not to breastfeed...."
'supporting and promoting breastfeeding'." Perhaps they should be putting out ads
like the cigarette companies, saying they acknowledge the health hazards, and
here are ways to quit ( or in this case, here are the health hazards of
artificial feeding, and here are ways/places to get help to nurse/relactate, etc.
