While I'm glad that this company is promoting LLL, it's a discredit to
people like Cindy, myself and the many health care professionals on this
list who are passionate and knowledgable about BF in the hospital setting.
I used to purchase "lambies" as gifts from this company on a regular
basis(my in-laws are very fertile!), but prefer a baby sling as a
baby/mommy gift these days.  I remember seeing this before and thinking
"What a discredit to the many folks who work in hospitals and do a
fantastic job at BF support."  Like Cindy, I was irritated.  I suppose
since it's her catalog and her business, she can certainly express her
opinion.  I, like Cindy, can also choose to take my business elsewhere,
can't I?

Perhaps a better statement would be to find someone in your area "who is
knowledgable and supportive of BF, like LLL, IBCLCs, CBEs, a BF Peer
Counselor, etc."
