I'm thrilled to know this segment is still showing.  MILC (Metro IL LC's)
wrote a letter back in 1987 or 88 congratulating PBS & the Mr. Rogers
Neighborhood on this segment.  I think I still have their nice reply somewhere
in my files.  It is definitely one of the best I've ever seen on TV touting
the normalcy of breastfeeding.
