I totally noticed we didn't get any formula, but rather a consultation from a lactation consultant at Portland Adventist last month with the birth of my son.

My husband and I talk about moving there pretty regularly. Though we have home births, this will put another check on the "pros to moving to Portland" list. My only regret is how many people stood next to me smoking as I nursed my child on a sidewalk bench.Ambernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26241886.post-59567244153846371982008-02-22T13:25:00.000-08:002008-02-22T13:25:00.000-08:00In the UK, formula companies are in court to weake...In the UK, formula companies are in court to weaken and remove restrictions on formula marketing and promotion.

When we had our initial appointment (St. V's circa 2002) with my first pregnancy we got the Similac diaper bag with cans of formula, sample packets--the whole shebang. With my 2nd (born in May) we didn't get anything. I even remember mentioning it to my husband in the "I hope they've stopped pushing this stuff" way. Very pleased that this is the case. Hooray! :)msubulldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555919010198929132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26241886.post-270312171954044552007-08-06T13:46:00.000-07:002007-08-06T13:46:00.000-07:00Ali, we haven't seen *any* local media coverage of...Ali, we haven't seen *any* local media coverage of this, though press releases have been sent out.
