On Monday, Oct. 23, Oprah did a show on "mothers around the world".  Two of these segments mentioned breastfeeding - here's part of the segments, posted on her site:

Norway also encourages moms to breast-feed, and there are even cafés designed for nursing moms. "We don't flash the boob out in the cafe, but you can be discreet. Everybody does it," she says. And Trine means everybody-99 percent of Norwegian moms breast-feed!

When Minnesotan mom Jill Youse heard about the severe malnourishment of AIDS orphans in South Africa she decided to take action. "For children who are sick, especially if they have HIV or they have other diseases, breast milk can be the difference between life and death," Jill says.

Jill founded the International Breast Milk Project, which helps caring moms in the U.S. donate their highly nutritious breast milk-which is then pasteurized, packed in dry ice and shipped to undernourished children in South Africa.

Janice again.
Please note - the International Breast Milk Project donation links lead to Prolacta.

(the links above will provide a picture, but I've already posted the full text, as it much as mentions breastfeeding, above)
