I am a lurker, but I just had to post to this. My son is 14 months old. When he was born the hospital gave me the standard "breastfeeding diaper bag", complete with a can of formula. In addition to that I got a baby book (nice quality, I might add) that was provided by local merchants. Their advertising was in the front cover. I also got a hand made baby bracelet and a certificate done in calligraphy. The bracelets were made by a "friend of the hospital" with donated craft items. They were heirloom quality. I was appreciative of all these items, except for the formula, I had no need for it so I considered it a waste....I needed a diaper bag, and hadn't purchased a baby book yet. The only item provided by a formula company was the diaper bag. The rest was provided by the community. Oh, we also got a new smoke alarm from the local Rotary club and a radon test kit.... Are these "gifts" wrong as well? I saw it as the community welcoming a new member.... Maggie breastfeeding mom and advocate
