^^ Even my DD thinks that babies are bottle fed b/c ALL her dolls come with a bottle. I told and showed her that babies have breastmilk & made sure when ever someone was bf their baby, that I pointed it out & she knew it was from the breast. She now does both with her dolls... so the message is slowly getting there.
I think JM hit the nail on the head about subtle inclusion in everyday t.v. shows and I know from reading the other thread with mainly Barbs comments that the ABA is not for profit, so they don't always advertise on t.v., so I think the government needs to step in & provide money for that purpose or provide the advert themselves (with the ABA / WHO support & recommendation)
Jennifer also makes a good point - I started bf and then stopped and it was the hardest decision to make & one I questioned for ages b/c I didn't feel supported in that choice nor did I feel supported or have the resources to re-establish bf. A lactation consultant was suppose to come around and help me, instead she dropped off brochures - I was so overwhelmed that I just stuck to ff.
