Guest guest Posted July 1, 2000 Report Share Posted July 1, 2000 I have. Mine has had thiers up for about 2-3 months. Just about 2 weeks aog though they put all the breastfeedng books on clearance. So I am guessing they are no longer going to have it at my wal-art anyway. I was pretty dissappointed aobut that but I got like 5 different BF books for like $5 each. Including the one by Dr. Sears.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2000 Report Share Posted July 1, 2000 I heard that some Walmarts having nursing tops, but I haven't found them at ours yet, in fact ours has a pretty small maternity section though a pretty large infant/baby section.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 FromMadelynnS@... << Can I ask though, why is it that they have to have a breastfeeding " section " , and why they don't have a bottle feeding section??.. Walmart is really bad about breastfeeding women.. and they have been sued many times! >> The bottlefeeding stuff is in at least several aisles - bottles, formula, etc. I wasn't terribly offended about the layout. I was glad to find it. For example there is another WA area chain where the Lansinoh and nursing pads are located in separate aisles. But I think several of the products in the bf aisle could have been used by bottlefeeding moms as well (coolers). Moos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
