I have a vivid memory of a tender moment on TV with breastfeeding.  It was one of the last shows of China Beach (I'm going back a few years here) and the character with the red hair (who is on a CSI programme now) had given birth and gave the baby a first breastfeed.  It was so real and so lovely.  The baby was shown seeking, the mum drew the baby into her and fumbled to attach (real breast and nipple showing) then baby and mum got it together..ahhhhhhhhhhhhh................

I still feel sentimental over that programme.
