Parenting Magazine is actually not too bad in terms of its support of bf.
Last issue featured a number of staff members who pump at work and their
reasons for doing it. There was also a good short summary of the different
types of pumps available and the adv/disadv of each that was pretty
unbiased. I also did not find any ABM ads, just one for toddler formula.
PARENTS magazine, however, is awful. When I subscribed and got my first
issue full of ABM ads, bottle/nipple/pacifier ads, and lip service to bf,
boy did they ever get a letter from me. At the time I wasn't involved in
the National BF Media Watch, as I am now, or they would have received one
of our letters as well.
I can't, however, find their address. But they do indeed deserve a few
(thousand) letters. The last issue I perused at a newstand hadn't changed a
bit from the one I got in my mailbox.
Now, if only Ladies Home Journal will respond to my letter about tobacco
advertising....
