Commercial discharge packs and breastfeeding counseling: effects on infant feeding practices in a randomized trial. Pediatrics, 80(6): 845-854 "There is a substantial body of scientific evidence to support our opinion that formula discharge packs do affect breastfeeding in a negative manner. A recent article in the journal "Birth" countered this evidence by concluding that the practice of distributing formula discharge packs did not affect breastfeeding. However, the women involved in this study were provided with appropriate follow-up, which doesn't happen everywhere in the US. Additionally, Ross Labs funded the study, a major manufacturer of infant formula."
