bottle on mumsnet logo

[madam1mim]

don't know if this has been discussed before but what do people think about the image of a mother with the bottle on the mumsnet logo? I think I heard that mumsnet decided not to let formula companies advertise on here , so is having the image of a bottle just as bad? I personally think t'd be great to see a an image of a mother using her breast as a weapon Hah! What do people think?

I don't think anything. It could as easily be ebm in that bottle.

"like" button needed

Popcorn anyone?

it's a froot shoot

Doesn't bother me, all kinds of mums come here for help/support, some of them (shhh!) use formula. Some of them may be bottle feeding EBM. Methinks the logo is being over thought!

ooh yes. A fruit shoot. I like that

I often wonder what the amorphous mass is in the middle, that they're all sort of emerging from. There could be all sorts going on there.

I think we have had this bunfight debate before

It doesn't bother me tbh

I had always assumed there was tea in that bottle.

I think if weaponry is the issue a bottle would be more effective (missile, thumping thing) than a breast.

If feeding is the issue then I don't see the problem. Not like bottles don't get discussed on here.

Its whiskey, helps 'em sleep dontcha know.

Thankyou for making me look closely at the logo, I've now realised that it looks like the baby on the left is waving a large dick in his mothers face

If you look very closely, you can see that the mother holding the bottle also has BOOBS. I think that evens out.

I know that people on here bottle feed and I don't have a problem with it but it's interesting that that image is used over a mother breastfeeding. If it's to ever be considered normal again then we need to see it portrayed even on things like mumsnet logos! At least maybe have a breast and a bottle lol. Don't mean to sound like I'm ranting ' just curious to see what people think!

Just change the logo to a pair of breasts then? My DC are 9 and 12 and they aren't featured in the logo.

Can we not apply common sense and judge mumsnet for what it does, rather than a silly logo?

Think how many women have recieved great breastfeeding and bottle feeding support and advice from these boards. Or does the logo out-weigh that?

If it wasn't such a good logo the bottle might annoy me, but as it is I think it is fine. An excellent logo.

I fail to see how you could incorporate a breast in that logo?

I like to think the bottle has pepsi max in it, no sugar obvs!

overthinking!

it's just a charlie's angels skit innit? I imagine it was more difficult to get a boob silhouette into the image.

Or maybe there should be someone using a sling, and someone with a pram, and someone cooking chops and someone TTC etc etc etc

What about the cats? There should definitely be a cat in the logo.

oh, and a vegetarian. There's no vegetarians represented!

or... I'll shut up now

Perhaps we could have a logo for each topic? I would have a steaming pile of poo with flies round it for AIBU.

They were asked this when they spoke at the UNICEF BabyFriendly Conference...

They said it had breastmilk in it.

It seemed a brave answer to an audience full of people directly involved in implementing the standards that require them to evidence that there is no promotion of artificial feeding where they work.
