Bottle-feeding is also prominently featured in posters and signs in various places, where breastfeeding is rarely is ever depicted. Here are some examples that I found rather striking and disturbing:

• McPhees junior bootery (Children's shoe store in El Cerrito, California)

  Posters of bottle-fed babies on the walls:	5
  Posters of breastfed babies:	None

• Macy's (department store) in Walnut Creek, California

  Christmas decorations featuring bottle-feeding (tree ornaments in the shape of baby bottles):	2
  Christmas decorations featuring breastfeeding (e.g., Virgin Mary nursing baby Jesus):	None

• Papyrus (stationery store) in Berkeley, California

  Birth announcements with baby bottles:	7
  Birth announcements with breastfed babies:	None
