Just returned from New York where I saw an ad campaign on the subway for
the Bronx Zoo.  At first I thought it very cute.  All signs showed a baby
animal and stated, "The Babies Are Here," and had some modified human
baby item also picture.  The ostrich had a pair of shoes with really long
tops, the lizard and a plaster ornament with a lizard foot print in it,
the gorilla had a baby play mat with vines hanging down.  Well, I got to
the bat...rows of bottles hanging upside down!  Yipes!  Besides raising
my blood pressure, I did wonder how one would feed a baby bat?

I went to their web site www.wcs.org/ohbaby  or www.wcs.ogr/bronxzoo and
there are none of the pictures on the site.  However, for those great
letter/e-mail writing lactnetters out there...here are the requisite
addresses.

The Bronx Zoo is run by the Wildlife Conservation Society

Then, I was at FAO Schwartz.  They have a new doll.  The display is
titled "Newborn Nursery."  The salesperson was dressed in nurse scrubs.
Of course you can purchase accessories complete with formula.
Interesting doll, weighted like newborn so neck needs support (adoption
fee: $120)
I did see breastfeeding babies and toddlers in the parks!
