Health visitors know the benefits of breastfeeding.
I find it astonishing that the article promoting health visiting (careers, May 4) should portray formula feeding as normal in its accompanying photograph. This undermines the individual woman's choice to breastfeed. It also reinforces the societal norm of formula feeding.
