Tchibo breastfeeding pillows (or are they?)

Tchibo has breastfeeding pillows in the sale at £12 a pop - they are the bead filled ones and since my feather filled one has gone flat and useless I decided to buy one.

As I got home I noticed the packaging - yes is clearly says 'breastfeeding support pillow' yet the picture is of someone bottlefeeding a baby

Weird! I've just emailed them to find out what exactly is so offensive about their product that they can't bring themselves to show it being used

I was doing an ' out and about with you BF baby' leaflet for our local surestart. When I asked in there the lady I was speaking to said, with a rather shocked look 'oh, I don't think we do that sort of thing here' Maybe they have a company policy?

Well I'll let you know what they say - if they come back with an unsupportive response I'll be heading down there with a bunch of mums and toddlers for a coffee and a nurse (as soon as I've had this bloody baby anyway).

I think they actually are supposed to have a pro-breastfeeding policy - at least they used to have. But M&S is just next door and I prefer to go upset the biddies in there instead (they have better cake!)

I go to our New Art Centre cafe. An Oasis in the grim Chatham.
Would be interested o hear what they say though.

urgh.

I don't think I'll be frequenting them again.
Maybe if I go in though and then right and ask them the same question and get lots of friends to do the same they might take some more notice?

What do you think?
