alright not sure if this is the best place to ask but it seemed relevant.... 
:
DD and I took a baby sign class and shes really catching on, she signed milk yesterday after 4 weeks of doing it! That made me really excited so I wanted to get some books for her so we could practice. The books at the bookstore only had a bottle as the picture for milk, so we passed on them. A LLL friend of mine told me she got the baby einstein signing DVD for her son and he really liked it, so in a fleeting moment of insanity, I bought the stupid thing for my DD too. I'm not keen on letting babies watch TV, but I figured I'd watch it and do the signs with her, and she could watch it occasionally.....until I watched it. It was done pretty well, but when they did the sign for milk they only showed adults drinking from cups with milk, and two different babies (or one baby and one doll) drinking from bottles. It also had a baby with a bottle in another intro clip (I think to playtime signs?) It wouldn't be a big deal to me if it showed bottles AND nursing, as we have friends who bottle feed, so DD will eventually comprehend that some babies don't nurse, but t doesn't show a mom nursing anywhere on the video, and that bugs me! DH thinks I'm overreacting....I emailed the customer service at babyeinstein.com and asked for a refund (since target does not take back opened DVDs). So theres my rant, but heres my ? to you, do any moms who do signs know of any books or movies that DO show nursing when teaching "milk"? I watch signing times on TVwhile shes napping to learn new signs to do with her, but they haven't shown "milk" yet on there. I saw signing times has a baby series too, but now I'm afraid to go waste more money...
am I overreacting? the rest of the DVD is ok, making the signs easy to learn, etc.
