>Is this so, that pediatricians generally don't provide formula samples and/or >use formula promo material? I was under the impression these things were >fairly rampant. You know I would agree here, the ped that we use (only when our family prac. isn't avail) is TERRIBLE with this. Funny how I didn't notice it until I started going to lactation school! The ped that I thought was SO alternative all of a sudden looked SO mainstream! As my ideas of alternative meds/practices changed so did my opinion of this dr. The last time I was there she had a nice bin labeled "free samples" I found myself peering in there (you know human nature to look at anything that's FREE), and it was full of formula samples. I was so irritated. That was the last time I was there. And with this baby (that STILL isn't here) I won't be going to see her. It's funny how our perception of things/people change as we educate ourselves! Melisa ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Did you hear? Breast is Best!
