Someone alerted me to this statement in your current catalog:

>"At One Step Ahead we know that breastfeeding can be pretty hard on Mom.
>And if your nursing infant senses your tension he can stop feeding too soon
>and often becomes colicky. So we put together this special three-piece
>Nursing collection to make breastfeeding easier and more comfortable for
>you, so it is also more satisfying for baby."

If in fact you said this in your catalog, you need to recall/recant it.
There is NO evidence that tension in the mother contributes to colic in the
baby.  Colic in a breastfed baby (a rare event) is most often due to either
dairy allergy (mother eating too much dairy and cows' milk protein in her
breast milk causing a reaction in the baby) or to foremilk/hindmilk
imbalance, a result of too frequent switching of the breasts
(left/right/left/right).  Please refer to the work of Michael Woolridge,
such as:

Woolridge, Michael W.  1995

Baby-Controlled Breastfeeding: Biocultural Implications.  In Patricia
Stuart-Macadam and Katherine A. Dettwyler (eds.) Breastfeeding: Biocultural
Perspectives.  New York: Aldine de Gruyter.  Pp. 217-242.

Breastfeeding is NOT hard on mom.  Breastfeeding results in the release of a
flood of prolactin and oxytocin, the "mothering hormones" that make
mothering much easier if you are breastfeeding than if you are not.

PLEASE, PLEASE, in your quest to sell products, do not malign breastfeeding,
nor make statements that contradict current scientific understanding.
