I just can’t wait to see the new ad that will replace the withdrawn one… Dad’s got a firm grip on Momma’s teet, lovingly squeezing the swollen mammory gland to produce the sweet expression into the child’s latching mouth…what a family bonding ad that would be… ---

> [@maggenpye](#): > > The breastfeeding advocates are indeed concerned that seeing _any parent_, not just fathers, bottlefeeding in _any context_, not just breastfeeding commercials will normalise bottle feeding. > . Which is fucked up because using a bottle IS normal for most breastfeeding families some of the time and a few people all the time - adopted children, children whose parents have medications that prevent breastfeeding AND ANY MAN. It is NORMAL AND WONDERFUL for a man to bottle feed a baby. God what is wrong with people. “We can’t show that - it might give them the idea it’s normal and fine for a father to feed a baby in the only way possible for him!” And making breast feeding this massive chore where you can never express milk for later or have a partner help, ever (that’s not NORMAL) – way to sell it there, folks.
