Including breastfeeding in curriculum for young children would be wonderful,
but I would like to see something beyond this.  When volunteering in my
children's school library I am always looking at the illustrations in books
featuring babies (and frequently comment to the librarian when I see
something I do or don't like.)  If breastfeeding was included as a part of
everyday life, the issue of putting it into the curriculum would be less
pressing.

My children have a wonderful book about a little girl whose family has a new
baby.  Breastfeeding is not mentioned, but there is one illustration in which
the mother's breast is hanging out.  There is also a proliferation of
unfolded laundry and dirty dishes... now that's real life.  ( The book, by
the way, is called "Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted" by Mairi Hedderwick,
published in Great Britain.  I don't know if it is available anywhere else.)
 If anyone knows any other examples of incidental breastfeeding in children's
literature I'd love to hear about them.
