Can a mother who does not want to breastfeed still get a free bag?
A. Every container of formula has a toll free number which a parent can call to request that a bag or other gifts be shipped to her directly from the company, without involving the hospital. The bags are not really “free”– they are paid for by parents who buy formula. The bags cost the companies less than $15 each, but a year of formula costs each family up to $2,000, a substantial portion of which goes to marketing.
