It seems like a contradiction of sorts...Renee Hefti-Graham and Linda Good, lactation consultants at Burnaby Hospital outside Vancouver, BC, resigned after the Nestle Corporation organized a presentation about baby nutrition and formula at a local hotel. This technically violates the World Health Organization's International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes. Hefti-Graham and Good quit after their manager said the guidelines from the World Health Organization were just "propaganda" and would not censure the presentation. "We just didn't feel supported," said Hefti-Graham. And rightly so! As lactation consultants, we promise to promote, protect and support breastfeeding and when you're not supported by your manager, where do you turn? But the question remains: Now that they're gone, what about all of those moms and babies in the hospital who need them so desperately? Is standing on ceremony worth the cost?

I just had a great question from a reader about moving refrigerated milk to the freezer after 6 days and thought it was a perfect opportunity to clarify something...

When using the rule of 6 with refrigerated milk, it is not recommended that you move milk to the freezer if it has been in the fridge for 6 days. At that point the milk really should be used. If in doubt as to when you're going to use the expressed milk, err on the side of caution and put it in the freezer. You can always "downgrade" (freezer to fridge), but you should not "upgrade" (fridge to freezer). Treat it as you do uncooked chicken. If it's been in the refrigerator until its expiration date, you can't then put it in the freezer...It has to be cooked. Same goes for breast milk...use it or lose it!
