11:05:23 Host_Housepoet Quote of the chat:  11:19:16 charis it's not enough to just knock down the marketing of formula, it has to be replaced
11:05:37 Host_Housepoet and that is of course what we aim do to with the site
11:06:05 Host_Housepoet Looks like the the Juice made a good suggestion

11:13:53 Host_Housepoet good point
11:14:02 Host_Housepoet I got one and I wasn't even pregant! ;)
11:14:09 habibek1ndheart If WE found a low cost or free publisher....for a free book
11:14:24 habibek1ndheart know who else does it? The church of jesus christ of latter day saints. People LOVE 'free'
11:14:25 drgnfly7691 what about approaching other free pregnancy/baby magazines, such as BabyTalk?
11:14:26 Host_Housepoet or even booklet?
11:14:35 habibek1ndheart yep
11:14:40 Host_Housepoet that is a good thought as well
11:14:44 givinguponyou the insurance thing- gettiing insurance companies to mail out imfo to their pregnant policy holders
11:14:45 eyezwideopen maybe we could get some of the breastfeeding compnaies to help us puyt together a free pack to give to PG mothers
11:14:46 Host_Housepoet but do they have formula ads in that mag?
11:14:50 eyezwideopen just like they do for formula
11:14:58 serendipitylove ?
11:14:58 jucifer yes.
11:15:01 eyezwideopen instead it would have breastpads
11:15:05 eyezwideopen lanolin
11:15:12 eyezwideopen coupons for nursing bras
11:15:12 aessedai ...sorry, guys, I can't sit up any more, I have to go lay back down.
11:15:18 drgnfly7691 yes... I write them a letter about every-other month on a crappy formula-promo article.
11:15:27 serendipitylove wouldn't it be better to be in a mag that does have formula ads...so mothers would see both?
11:15:33 drgnfly7691 I'd like to see us get enough info to them that we could REPLACE those articles and ads.
11:15:34 jucifer TRUE
11:15:40 Host_Housepoet I would as well
11:15:41 sugarcoated_poison_apple when i had my first daughter, the bag i got from similac had some actually useful stuff ... 4 4-oz milk storage bottles, and a cooler bag thing that had 2 little freezer pack things that fit into pockets on the sides.
11:15:42 habibek1ndheart UGH or their ADS, like the RSV prevention ad that doesn't mention breastfeeding
11:15:44 eyezwideopen
