Please avoid referring people to Code violators through your posts unless
the purpose of providing the URL is to out them as Code violators.  
I am taking the 'Breastflow' feeeding bottle as a case in point.  The bottle
may have something to offer in special situations with problems.  But it is
marketed by a company with no regard for the restrictions in the WHO Code,
prohibiting the idealization of bottle feeding.
The page on which it is displayed comes up on the site for the vendor which
the vendor calls 'Breast Feeding'.  If you click on 'Breast Feeding' on this
site, you end up looking at a feeding bottle.  There is an assortment of
other 'breast feeding' products shown on the same screen, and a pump is the
sixth product down, the first product where an actual breast is mentioned,
although the word 'breast' is used many times to refer to artificial teats.

We don't always click on the URLs in posts so we have most likely missed
other examples of this.  This one was brought to our attention and that's
why it's being used as the example.

We ask that you check the links you send to LN if you want to discuss
products and avoid using URLs that take surfers over the line into Code
Violation Limbo, or at least make it clear in your post that the site
contains material in violation of the Code.
