My DH and I are constantly talking about how we can find a way to combat the advertising of formula. This is a great post and so important! Thanks for sharing!

I poked around a bit over there and found it interesting. I’ll have to join to see the results in the ‘findings’ section. I do wonder what Bravado is trying to do with the use of the term ‘non-judgemental’. There is a lot of ‘non-judgemental’ scientific information already available in multiple outlets.

I loved this post, and agree that we need to fight on both fronts–both to boycott Nestle/demand ethical corporate behavior, and to boost the breastfeeding movement which is being grossly out-marketed and has been woefully out of the loop on the power of social media. One organization that is super savvy with social media AND grassroots campaigning is http://www.momsrising.org . . . Best for Babes urges everyone to join them. Two other organizations that we think have great potential are the United States Breastfeeding Committee http://www.usbreastfeeding.org, and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, http://www.bfmed.org.

Thanks for helping us focus on positive action we can take and for starting such a great list!

I recently attended the online launch of Bravado’s Breastfeeding Information Council. It was a great conversation about breastfeeding and work.
