"A big part of marketing stuff is creating a NEED that doesn't really 
exist."

This is so true.  In South Africa we have 4 months maternity leave - for 
most women there is no need for breastpumps, bottles, or other 
"breastfeeding products"  during that time.  But, due to the power of 
marketing and the fairly recent greater availability of these products there 
has been a significant change in breastfeeding "culture".  It's really sad.

I am very thankful that these products are available - they do often save 
the day - when used appropriately.  But I am seeing the breatpump and the 
feeding of EBM via bottle become a far too common solution for problems that 
can easily be fixed.
