Linda Anderegg has written the most wonderful letter.

>>>>While I'm sure this was intended to
be a positive image,  it is the exact opposite.  Nurses have not worn caps
for about 25 years  now.  They are a symbol of the subservience of a
predominantly female  profession and certainly not the image that nursing
advocates would use to  promote the profession.  A nurse does not care for a
baby by separating  it from its mother and feeding it an artificial
breastmilk substitute with an  artificial nipple.>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 None of these steps are depicted by your coloring page.  I  find
this so surprising because NIEHS is a division of the Department of  Health
and Human Services which has just launched a National  Breastfeeding
Awareness Campaign>>>>>
Makes you wonder if the departments ever communicate??
