Dear Lacteneers:

Hope everyone had a nice and safe Thanksgiving!  Today I was watching my
soap, Days of our Lives, (one of my weaknesses).  There is one character that
was pregnant and I was waiting to see if she was going to bf.  After several
days of having the baby and it being in NICU for the first time today she was
asked by the baby's father if she was going to bf.  In the story itself it
has been about 3 days since she's had the baby and today was the first time
that any type of feeding was mentioned.  The character who is a teen said, "I
don't think I can handle it right now, could you give him a bottle?"

I don't know about you all but it seemed to me that research was not done on
bf and probably not w/bf experience.  I felt it was handled very poorly.  I
know there is a media watch of some kind but I don't have the address.  I
know this was mentioned on the net a few months ago.  Does anyone out there
have the address or any suggestions?  I would like to send a note letting
them know how I feel.  At the end of the epidose the character ended up bf
but it was for alterial motives.  I will wait and see how the writers handle
this bf dyad.

Thank you
