A few years ago, while drafting a new breastfeeding promotion bruchure for
our Health District, I (as consumer rep) was asked to review it.  I was a
big *pain* about language, and almost the whole thing was re-written.  The
title for the brochure that we finally came up with was - "Mother's Milk,
Baby's Choice"   While possibly not perfect, I think this got us a lot
closer to where we want to be with this issue.  The brochure has recently
been re-printed as a poster for use all over our province.  I don't believe
there has been any negative reponse to the slogan.
