Again,
It's not about the product but the marketing...the standard is the 
International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes which is designed 
to protect mothers and babies worldwide. It is not possible to undermine the 
Code and support breastfeeding.

PS I would like to point out that Medela have been around and very 
successful as a company for a long time without marketing their bottles to 
mothers- one might ask what has changed?

Again I do understand how dangerous bottles can be,esp. in underdeveloped
countries, but... Medela is not marketing their bottles in that way. This
company has done a ton of research on breastfeeding, infact funded the study
that gave us the true anatomy of the breast a couple of years ago.

I have seen many babies SAVED by breastpumps, as prematures our Medela
pumps allowed their moms to continue producing adequate amts. of milk.

Sorry, I just to not understand persecuting someone who is just doing what
they can to help breastfeeding mothers, as all of us are!
