Chicago Hope  planned episode?: A breastfed baby who dies of
dehydration.
From: [log in to unmask]


At an LLL conference this weekend I heard that Chicago Hope is planning
to air
an episode in a couple weeks involving a breastfed baby who dies of
dehydration.  We all know how rare that is and how misinformation and
fear
spreads rampant from popular media exploiting the subject.  I am looking
for
more info on when that episode is airing and whom to contact at the
show's
production team (and HOW to contact them)  BEFORE the airing, if anyone
out
there knows.  I intend to start a mail/email campaign directed at
getting the
appropriate accurate breastfeeding information into the hands of their
script-
writers and perhaps planting the idea they might choose to revise their
intended script in the event it currently reads as bogus for the purpose
of
heightening the "drama" of the show. I would also like to encourage
follow-up
with everyone's local media affiliates of the network that runs Chicago
Hope,
as at least in the US the late night news teams love to play into that
dramatic stuff right after a program like that. FYI I will be contacting

LLLI's Public Relations dept. too.
Thanks, looking forward to your reply.
