As a nice anti-dote to how breastfeeding is usually portrayed, the BBC 
ran a news item on Vit D deficiency today.  From both the news clip on 
the TV, and the article on the web pages, would not know there was 
another way to feed a baby, as formula use was not mentioned at all.  No 
scurrilous comments about the rise in breastfeeding contributing to the 
rise in rickets - rather a balanced piece highlighting changing 
lifestyles.  It also centred on mother taking the supplements!

I'm going to write in and compliment them, as good practice like this 
needs praise.  :-)
