OK, I'll have a go:

"I was using the new feeders that have replaced the breast milk slogan
feeders to feed the babies and noticed that the bottles all carry a logo
for a formula company. These bottles are also being used for mother's
milk-fed babies and their Mothers who have made the choice to breast feed.
It just doesn't seem very supportive or appropriate to have these easily
read "logos" for our breastfeeding population. Is there a different way we
can meet the needs of both of these populations without seeming judgmental?"

Well, yeah. But the formula company bottles for formula-fed babies and the
breast milk logo bottles for breastfed babies. Isn't that simple? Won't the
NICU RNs just jump at that opportunity to make their work simpler? Easy to
know which is which, ABM logo or EBM slogan. Worth a suggestion with a VERY
straight face.  :-}
