Hope this is a good place to post my reaction to this, though perhaps could be one for AIBU ?
Basically, having read about this weeks prizes on the MN home page, I was alarmed to see a "closer to nature" bottle feeding starter kit from Tommee Tippee as one of the prizes.
I just feel new mums need as much encouragement as possible to establish breast-feeding, and that Mumsnet should not be promoting bottle feeding over breast-feeding, however subtley, by accepting advertising, prizes, and products from bottle feeding manufacturers.
Of course, breast-feeding is not always possible for everyone and some mothers will choose bottle feeding for their babies. But there are many benefits to breast-feeding and I feel MN should be pro-active in the support it gives new mothers in establishing breast-feeding, and not allow the formula feeding or bottle feeding manufacturers to undermine this choice in any way.
So, do others agree, or AIBU ?!
