Joy, you write:

<< "Supermom?  WIC can help!"  In this case, Supermom is not doing such a
super
 job--the baby has a bottle that is propped into it's mouth.  WIC is promoting
 breastfeeding here?  I could do a better job with some crayons, or the visual
 aid from my last LLL meeting, and I don't even need government $ to do it.

Please call the WIC phone number that should be listed on that poster.  The
people who answer WIC hotlines are required to document every phone call and
pass along comments to the appropriate people (at least in this state - TX).
You can suggest that this poster is not supportive of breastfeeding and ask
how many posters your state is producing that are designed for breastfeeding
promotion.  You can make suggestions along with your valid criticism.  You
should receive a response in writing.

Let us know what kind of response you get.  And what state do you live in?
