I am pretty sure everyone out there has at least one televison ad that gets under their skin.  One that bugs me right now is from some breastfeeding group, have you seen it?  It features two 9 month pregnant women log rolling.  It says that you wouldn't take risks with your babies life before it is born, why after.  Breast feeding is what a baby needs to be healthy.

Well, I think that is a disgusting ad.  Breastfeeding doesn't work out for many families.  I think it is horrible to have an ad saying you are abusing your baby if you aren't breastfeeding.  There are plenty of factors that can make you feel bad about yourself as a mother with a new baby (hormones being at the top of the list), you certainly don't need some group of lacto activists pointing fingers at you.

I hear all of these studies all of the time about the benefits of breastfeeding.  The stats make sense but in reality, I know as many healthy formula fed babies as breastfed babies.  Sometimes it is simply genetics that determines whether your baby gets ear infections or not, has a better immune system or any of the other claims about the superiority of breastfeeding.  To say that giving your baby formula is some form of disregard for your baby's well being is reprehensible in my opinion.

Well, that's my pet peeve ad for the moment, what's yours?
