I have copies of the ad mentioned below - the differences between the
pictures are amazingly blatant, even to the point of makeup and curlier
hair!  I can scan and send it to those interested.  I have often used this
at LLL meetings.

 

 

Jean asked for a picture of a nursing mother with a painful expression on
her face, and instantly the images came to mind from old ads in baby and
parenting magazines in the US for the Playtex Nurser.  The text stated, "No
other bottle comes closer to breast- feeding." Pictured side-by-side were a
mother nursing her baby and then bottle feeding the same baby.  In the
nursing photo the mother had a forced, faint smile (more like gritting her
teeth), her sweater was unbuttoned down from the top, the baby's hand was
hiding his eyes, and the distance between the mother's and baby's heads was
wide apart.  When she bottle fed her smile was natural and happy, she and
the baby shared a loving gaze, and their faces were close together.   Of
course her wedding ring was clearly visible in this pose (but not seen in
the breastfeeding photo).
