I didn't mean to imply that nipple confusion should be mentioned in  
the book, just that when bottle and breastfeeding are shown side-by- 
side they seem to be equally positive choices,  just two different  
ways of feeding the same baby, no problem, take your pick.  If bottle  
feeding is to be shown, I prefer it to be on another page, at least.

I agree that this is a good opportunity for parents and children to  
talk about how babies are fed.
