Watched Dora with dd1 today. Dora was very excited as she was going to be a big sister. She said "Guess what I'm going to have? It sleeps in a crib (okay, though some babys may not), it wears a diaper (okay) and it drinks from a bottle" - now this last bit is what I have a problem with. Why does it have to be the normal, defining thing to bottlefeed? Why couldn't she say "The baby drinks milk from Mummy"? Or leave the feeding question out altogether? But that way bottlefeeding is already taught to children as the 'normal' way of feeding a baby.
