Am I the only one to see this: "I want everyone to know about the wonderful breastfeeding support center at Mega Pick n' Save in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It is an individual display called the nursing center with a picture of mom and baby. It has a whole bunch of Medela products, from pumps to pads to a breastfeeding pillow. " with ueasy, doubting eyes. I understand the thrill of seeing public depiction of bf in a positive way (especially when it is not promoting anything baby-related: a bank used a bf picture here some years ago, and Gay Palmer has a memorable slide of a Norwegian advert for sardines "the next best thing to mothers' milk") BUT A company is trying to increase sales. For me, an important aspect of bf is that is made by women outwith the capitalist/proto-capitalist/mercantile, etc.etc. economic system. the means of production are -- or could be -- in the remit of the primary producer and the consumer. No middleman. Sigh. don't mean to start the weary round of 'well, pumps are a good thing (in their place)'. Just to say --yeah, its great to see bf positively protrayed in public, but could we call it a support centre?
