Speaking of Pigeon, here's a quote from their site advertising their glass
bicycle horn pump:  "Before breastfeeding, it is recommended to express any
milk remaining in your breast from previous feeds."  Hmmm.  Then what's the
baby supposed to eat if you're pumping out all that leftover milk before you
breastfeed?  Oh, wait.  You can use their Nursing Bottle with the
Super-Stretchable Peristaltic Nipple that "expands to fit perfectly with the
"Sucking Fossa", in response to the natural peristaltic motion of your
baby's tongue."  

And here's what they say about their Nipple Puller (AKA Lansinoh Latch
Assist): "Convenient and safe, the PIGEON nipple puller draws out inverted
nipples easily. What's more, it also massages the breast to 'open' mammary
glands, thereby making breastfeeding so much easier."  Wow!  They must have
some really small breasts over there if that little suction cup can massage
your breast as it pulls out your nipple!  The promo for their nipple shields
is even worse, if you can believe that.
