teach them young, that nurses bottlefeed babies!!!
(No wonder we have a bottle feeding culture)

eeek!   Look at this coloring page from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences site:
(a colouring page for children, showing a nurse bottlefeeding an infant.
Caption: "Nurses Care for Us, from the Beginning!")

The moms at mothering.com are writing letters to let them know how wrong this image is.
You can read their letter, and the response from NIH here:
http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=189560

The NIH response was:
"Thank you for your comments and for your visit to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Although it is probably unlikely that persons making decisions about breastfeeding versus bottlefeeding will be greatly influenced by seeing a nurse bottle feeding a baby in our online coloring book, we will be happy to consider other coloring pictures of nurses that you would like to volunteer."


Someone needs to familiarize them with the Baby Friendly Initiative.
