I saw the show.  It was good.  I was pleased to hear
them say that the Surgeon General's Goal for 2010 is to have 75% moms
leaving the hospital breastfeeding and 50% continuing.  I was also glad to
hear her emphasize the word "exclusively".  The interviewee was good, maybe
she could have left out her last line, something like, I know it's hard I
did it myself for 2 children for 3 months.  Don't know if she was talking
about after she went back to work or 3 months total.  ( they had mentioned
at that point that women who work will need to pump, and talked about the
wonderful programs that some companies offer for pumping/breastfeeding
moms.)

                                Hi All,  Good News!  (I'm so excited I can
barely type :) ! )
                                Just saw the intro. to the TODAY show, the
one that shows Katie Couric
                                interrupting the am area news program with
little blurbs about features for
                                today and she said
                                " we will talk about the results of study
showing that breastmilk is
                                DEFINITELY better than formula for your
baby"  not maybe, not suggesting, but
                                DEFINITELY!!!!! Oh happy day....
                                Sorry I think I missed the segment itself,
AMs are too busy here, but
                                hopefully someone else saw it!!
