See the answer I have received from the baby safety site, pertaining to
graphics of bottles.

"Dear Louise,
Thanks for your feedback.  As a pediatric nurse, I am aware of the
concerns of infant formula and of bottle use in general.  However, our
site is devoted to home safety and not issues of child nutrition.  We
teach parents to create a home environment that's safe for young
children, one that's specifically designed to prevent child-related
accidents.

The bottle graphic is just that, a graphic that represents "feedback" -
we thought it was appropriate and a clever use of this graphic in that
the bottle causes feedback.  There is no intent on our part to promote
bottle feeding.  Would you prefer a breast with nipple graphic instead
of the bottle?  If you have another suggestion for this graphic, we will
consider it.  People who visit our site know that this is a site for
child safety in the home.  We have links to other sites that are
concerned with nutrition. Breast feeding is not an issue at Safe @ Home
as it does not fall into what our site is all about - home safety and
preventing child related accidents in the home.

Thank you for your concern.
For Barbara Sklar, R.N.

issues with children????
