If someone will publish the company names and address for those Christmas
ornaments with baby and bottle, I will write a letter!  I think a positive
approach would be best -- "I was really looking forward to buying one of
your beautiful ornaments this year to celebrate our new baby's first
Christmas.  I was so disappointed when I saw that this year's design
includes a bottle, since my baby is breastfed...." Then go into why you are
breastfeeding your baby, and why bottles are not used in your household.
Ask if by any chance they might make ornaments in the future showing a baby
without a bottle so that you can purchase them for your future children.
Ask if they will make one for 1995 after the fact, that you can buy.  Point
out that Jesus was breastfed....
