to have an issue with a poster at our local children's centre?

there's a big display at the children's centre where our health visitors do their weekly clinics and it really quite upset me. It shows a picture of a mum bf'ing with the caption "mummy" underneath and a picture of a single bottle with the same caption. I wasn't able to bf - subsequenty i felt incredibly guilty and inadequate as a mum for failing and i spent weeks agonising over whether it was something i did wrong. My initial reaction to this display was to feel guilty all over again but lately it's really started to annoyed me - this poster implies that my beautiful baby doesn't know the difference between me and a bottle which is rubbish. I know bf needs promoting and is the best for baby but is there any need to pile on the guilt on those mums who for whatever reason can't bf? DH says to let it go. I need to know - AIBU?
