They need to do more to encourage and support breastfeeding before they start dishing out formula. My brothers gf had really low supply, (or just wasn't eating enough, esp of good foods..not sure) and her pediatrician told her to switch to formula or they'd report her as my nephew was showing signs of failure to thrive at 6 weeks My brother’s gf gets WIC fomula for their baby, and I hate that it’s from nestle!

I first heard about the nestle boycott when I was in 6th grade nearly 30 years ago, yet I don't think 10% of Americans know that there is a boycott of Nestle or why. WIC in Massachusetts as well as most other states has an exclusive contract with Nestle & only provides Good Start formula vouchers- which just makes me crazy & I could rant for hours on that one.
