New Hampshire’s 19 maternity facilities have all stopped distributing formula company discharge packs, Ban the Bags has learned. New Hampshire thus becomes the nation’s fifth bag-free state following Rhode Island (1), Massachusetts (2), Delaware (3), and Maryland (4), as well as the District of Columbia. 

The move comes as the anti-formula marketing movement picks up momentum from the World Health Organization and renowned British medical journal The Lancet, both of which have recently called for increased regulation in formula marketing.
