You know what? This isn't good enough. Young children will still be handed
a bottle and told to feed the baby. Kids are brainwashed enough that
bottlefeeding is the only normal (tv, books, parks, playgrounds, school,
friends). I would certainly be *very* upset to discover my child had been
exposed to that idea during a personal (professional) evaluation. Wouldn't
it be nice if they changed the question to, "This baby is crying. How do we
deal with that?" The correct answer being to pick up the baby and sooth it!
