Re: Reading Rainbow.

LaVar Burton (the Host) was breastfed (!!)

PBS Website is <www.pbs.org>.  They have separate pages for children's
programming -- probably one for reading rainbow -- go there to send your
responses.  You may want to remind them that Mr. Rogers supports bf (a
little friendly competition in the PBS Children's programming realm?).

BTW, since the program is designed to encourage reading, you may want to
point out the role of bf in brain and visual development.

Also, I have seen various listings of children's books that have
positive and negative portrayals of infant feeding. I think there was a
review in JHL in the last 2 years.  Might be another good thing to quote
from, as well as to give them additional suggestions.

Off to write my note...
