<<The reason you have not seen sinfree gifts is because it is very difficult

to make money on breastfeeding (which is the only reason these 'gifts' are

given in the first place).>>

Soooo, who makes money on increasing BF rates? Who will benefit, bottom line
wise, from increasing rates and durations, and therefore may be motivated to
be supportive in sponsoring breastfeeding related gifts, (gifts that hospital
patients may have "come to expect"):

Companies:  Insurance, pump, nursing fashions, HMO's,
...................others?
Organizations: lactation education, associations, ...............others?
