In terms of "marketing" breastfeeding, I like the idea of emphasizing  
that breastfeeding helps a mother and baby experience a love and  
intimacy that is more powerful than they can imagine.  Newborn babies  
can't hug and kiss or understand "I love you," but when they are  
attached to Mom through breastfeeding, they can feel her love and  
total comfort and peace.  Mom is bathed in hormones of love and  
serenity.  Bottle feeding is food (and lots of work).  Breastfeeding  
is food, medicine, and love!

I love this article by Diane Wiessinger, "It's not really about the  
milk": http://www.wiessinger.baka.com/bfing/breastvbottle/notreally.html
