Can someone please tell me what that bottle is doing in the new MN logo?

[lizzytee]

That's it really. Or was it just too difficult to portray a breastfeeding mother in profile?

And I don't care if the bottle's got EBM in it either.

Really, it's hardly promoting bottle feeding is it? I am pro breastfeeding, but I really don't think that a silhouette of a bottle in a logo is going to impact BF rates.

Maybe that mum at the back's got a baby latched on - you just can't see it

Perhaps it's a bottle of wine with a really large cork!

Maybe it's not a bottle at all but a stuffed Makka Pakka...

They havent changed the logo, it's been like that for ages! Maybe it's just bigger now...
I was also when I first saw the bottle, a sucky cup would have represented me better but ho hum....

Perhaps it's been snatched from MILs grubby hands!

Lou, I hear you and am anxious not to come over as Millie Tant. I am also not saying that MN members are not informed enough to make their own choices about feeding their babies.

I just can't stand the fact that whenever a symbol is needed for feeding a baby, it's a bottle.

at bottle of wine. This mummy has had her juice that way more than once.

that I only just noticed

Oh ffs get a grip

Now jem, play nice

Sorry, its just, you know...

i agree with lizzytee actually,. have already posted on the other thread about this.
as I said on there, i hadn't even really noticed it myself.

but it's pretty sad that most people when thinking of babies, think of a bottle.

it could have been anything, a cup, a teddy bear a nappy...
breastfeeding needs to be normalised in this country.

A teddy would be identifiable. There's no anti-teddy alliance around here is there?

It is a Fruit Shoot bottle.

Not last time I looked. Want me to try and think something up?

LOL at Otter. Now that's really worth getting hot under the collar about. Down with the evil aspartame!

Keeping things even, so as not to alienate people who can't / won't / stopped bfing?
I was pleased to see it because I imagined it being filled with purple Sunny D, like my own newborn's bottle.

Need an extra large there because I'm lying completely.

the words get a grip spring to mind

Am I the only one who when glancing at it briefly thought the whole logo looked like a group of cornered soldiers bearing arms . Now that really would be inappropriate...

I thought it looked like a crab, but then I noticed the two bits sticking out at the sides on the bottom bit are legs - wearing flares.

That's sooooooo last season.

I can't actually see the logo anymore. I'm in favour of a new logo that's predominantly an enormous nork. But only really because of the amusement possibilities when my MIL comes round...

Hahaha, KayHarker, how about one of those women has a boob hanging out that's squirting milk?
Or is that just me...

I'm in favour of a nice new piece of artwork with a woman doing up a feeding top, while talking on a mobile, handing her child a lamb chop for BLW, receiving a bunch of flowers, doing some filing, and brandishing a swiffer. All while being a Goddess, of course.

Which would probably turn out like a bizarre modern-art version of Shiva, so never mind...
