Thanks very much for passing this on Fleur. I have contacted those who may be able to get the Red Cross photo removed...

Subject: Breastfeeding in Emergencies
I was horrified to come across this facebook page today:
http://www.facebook.com/ReadyMadeCorporation/posts/199713650048770#!/ReadyMadeCorporation
Ready Made Corporation is promoting a disposable baby bottle full of ready to eat formula as the answer to Japan's crisis. I notice they are using the handout picture from the Red Cross of the baby being bottle fed on their page, and they are perpetuating the myth that mothers cannot breastfeed when stressed. They have a Twitter page as well: http://twitter.com/#!/readymadeinc
