I wrote to the ADA tonight, at [log in to unmask] Here it is..and I encourage others to write as well. Really, I mean REALLLY. : / I am writing at this time in response to your "Eat Right Tip of the Day," at http://www.eatright.org/erm051398.html. I must admit that I was flabbergasted to find a graphic of a bottlefed baby on your nutrition " tip of the day" page. In this section, where pregnancy is discussed, there is no mention of breastfeeding whatsoever, and instead, there is a graphic of a baby being fed by artificial means...This graphical representation leads readers to think of bottlefeeding as the cultural norm, ...when in fact, breastfeeding is the healthiest and most cost effective way to feed human babies...the gold standard. I respectfully suggest that you change this graphic to a breastfeeding baby,...for, after all, breastfeeding is truly the beginning of a lifetime of good nutrition, and is the norm for our species. For the many families who might view your pages, it would be a wonderful service for you to depict breastfeeding as the healthiest choice for mothers and babies. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. The AAP 1997 statement on breastfeeding is on the www, and this might be a good reference for you to link to on your site when you discuss infant feeding. Warm Regards, Kathleen B.
