Petition
To Public Health Policy Makers
We know that making the best choice for feeding a new baby is one of the first and most important decisions a parent will ever make. Whether a mom chooses breastfeeding or bottle feeding, we strongly believe all moms deserve access to the best information on the safe, nutritious options available to them. We oppose any effort to restrict the distribution of educational information, including infant formula samples, to new moms in the hospital. And we support moms ability to breastfeed their babies when and where they need to. Let moms make the choice that's best for them and their baby based on knowledge, and we're confident they'll choose well. Because one thing's for sure, moms know best!
Sincerely,

Your freedom to choose between breast and bottle-feeding could be in jeopardy.

Every mom should have the right to choose how she is going to feed her baby. For heaven's sake the govt allows a woman to choose whether or not she will continue a pregnancy. Formula is not a life or death choice.

Not all cases are the same! My Baby will have cleft lip and palate and Breast feeding will not be an option for us. There are many reasons moms feel this is a better method of feeding, especially if they are health related reasons!

I feed my child both breast and formula because he's not with me 24/7 (daycare). Also, he had jaundice (sp?) as a newborn, so he HAD to drink formula....so why the big issue???

I breastfed my 1st child for 10 months and I currently breastfeed my second. The information the formula manufacturers put in these freebie bags is very valuable especially for those of us that do not qualify for programs such as WIC. Allow these freebi
