If I remember correctly, the end of "The Grapes 
of Wrath" (1940) depicts a young woman 
breastfeeding a starving older man; and "A Price 
Above Rubies" (1998) depicts an unhappy woman 
breastfeeding, but she can't handle how 
stimulated ("hot") breastfeeding makes her feel, 
so she leaves her baby and her repressive husband.

Neither of these is the "positive normal image of 
breastfeeding" that Amanda is looking for, 
though. This is pretty awful, isn't it, how few 
American movies (or other media) depict 
breastfeeding!
