the marketing of BF stuff is no diff. than marketing toys, insurance, infant
diapers, etc etc etc to new parents. Those who desire education and
information need to seek it out. everyone knows that advertising sells
products. we, the consumer must decide what it is we would like to "consume".
I encourage folks to research their purchases before buying ie, which
hospital/doc to use, which car seat is best, and yes, which is the best way
to feed our babies. This info is available (you found it didn't you?) There
is some measure of personal responsibility here. If a person sees the bra
mentioned and it suits her need or want , she buys it. ( i personally think
the bra looks more like a binding devise then a BF bra!! ugh!).with the
successful marketing of BM/BF came products to fill everyones needs and
desires.  I happen to like having many choices available.  I can choose buy a
"nursing pillow" or just use the ones i already have. The BF market is
consumer driven just like every other market.
