Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 I used www.charitycards.co.uk again last night - since one of the cards was a sympathy card for a friend whose brother has just died of epilepsy (scary, he had it well controlled and went into status epilepticus in the night on his own :-( - doctors said no-one could have done anything), it was especially appropriate to see that there was an epilepsy charity to allocate the share of the price to - NCT really should get in on this! Anyway, as a result of my browsing I wrote this to them: " 2) Amongst your new baby cards there is one entitled First Feed which depicts a bottle. Whilst there are people who do not wish to breastfeed for personal reasons or who are unable to in very specific situations, this kind of card contributes to a culture in which artificial feeding is depicted as the norm and breastfeeding is insufficiently supported - to the detriment of babies and mothers' health, both long and short term. It seems ironic that formula feeding is associated with an increased risk of some of the illnesses represented by the charities with which you work. I hope you will remove it, you have lots of other nicer cards. " And received the following response: " I take your point about the card. I don't think we can buy it any more anyway, so it will disappear when current stock runs out. " (I really hope the intended recipient of the new baby card I did order is ready to receive it, she went in for induction on Saturday night) -- jennifer@...
