It’s pretty well documented that the way to get your baby the best gut start is via breastfeeding. This image makes it look like bottle feeding is the answer which is irresponsible.

Hello
Thanks for sharing thoughts on the use of this image here. Sorry it's taken us a while to get back to you.
While we look into this, there also look to be a couple of other issues raised in this thread. To help with those, can you tell us where you are seeing the image? I think it's likely the carousel on the homepage but it would be good to check.
Some of you are seeing it flagged as an ad and others aren't. If you are able to send screenshots including what device you are using and how you are accessing the site (app, desktop etc) that would also be really useful.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Just to come back to this, we do take your point about the juxtaposition of the language 'how to give your baby a good gut start' with a bottle fed baby. As we all know, breast is best but at MN we've long recognised that some simply can't breastfeed and that many people use bottles to express milk with. We intentionally have a bottle in our angels logo (pic attached) to try to be inclusive of all mothers and their choices. In this instance maybe it was the wrong choice of image though because of the headline next to the pic so we'll swap it out in due course.
Many thanks for raising it.
