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
