After all, one thing about using a pump, *generally speaking* is that
whatever milk is pumped gets fed to the baby *with a bottle.*  That's a
nifty first step towards artificial feeding, isn't it?  Or are these
pumps also including clear and concise information about how to use
various alternative feeding methods?  And clear and concise information
about the possible problems that early introduction of bottles could
cause?  What kinds of visual images will be included with this give-away
item?

So will Ross be giving mothers information on how to locate
"breastfeeding professionals?"

 BTW, as far as being unbiased, personally I think I'm VERY biased.  Or
maybe I should say "discriminating?"  I stay away from products that
come with innappropriate and subtle misinformation, and I only like to
refer mothers to  companies that do NOT cause harm to babies and
mothers, ANYWHERE worldwide.
