Just thought I'd pass on a "positive" BF observation I made today!  I
recently purchased a 35,000 clip art package to use when putting together
handouts/overheads for talks, etc.  In browsing through looking for baby,
mother/infant, family pictures, etc., it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't
seen any pictures of babies with bottles!  There are several pictures of moms
breastfeeding babies, and of babies by themselves.  One shows a baby with a
rattle, but NO BOTTLEFEEDING BABIES!!  Also, NO PACIFIERS!  I then started
deliberately "looking" for bottles or pacifiers, in any of the categories
listed.  I found 3 very stark, stylized outlines of baby bottles under
"symbols" and "objects".  Considering they have 5 or more clips of toothpaste
tubes, I figure 3 bottles isn't excessive.  I looked for the name of an
editor, but can't find one.  The publisher is IMSI (don't know what it's
short for), they have offices in USA, UK, Australia, Germany, and France.

See, breastfeeding IS making inroads, even in computer graphics packages!
