Thanks, Kathy D. for saving me from housework. I started musing and can't
stop...

How about:

If you choose not to breastfeed your kids won't just be disappointed --
they'll be sick about it.

You premature infant will be surprised you don't breastfeed -- in fact, she
may be dumbstruck.

60% of formula fed babies have one thing to say: "'ear! 'ear!" (picture of
crying babies)

Bottlefeeding lightens the load (picture of frazzled parents loaded down
with all the stuff you need to carry with you for bottles)
+
Breastfeeding ties you down (picture of parents with baby in sling/pack)
without the load, having an outing.

Breastfeeding causes loneliness (picture of pediatrician looking forlorn)
+
Formula feeding makes you popular (picture of busy pediatrician, sick
babies...crowd scene)

Formula fed babies don't cry about it -- they just raise a stink.

Oh, if only. Imagine the flack we'd generate. Oh well, the Hoover is calling
me...
