Assunta,
 Yes ! I totally agree with you !!!  I haven't seen the episode yet... another
half hour to wait... but as I was listening to a talk radio show this AM, with
people calling in saying how sad the were that they couldn't, didn't
(whatever) have enough milk to feed their babies and how much they wanted
to... it occurred to me that this could be a VERY POSITIVE thing for
breastfeeding, for mothers & especially for babies who might otherwise have
not even been given the opportunity to breastfeed.

The talk show host (female who breastfed 4 children) was interviewing the Co-
producer of tonight's "Hope" episode.  It seems this mother had personal
experience with "not enough milk" when she found her 6 wk old baby to be 3
ounces under birthweight at 6 weeks of age.   She stated that she hoped the
awareness of where to get expert guidance and assessment of breastfeeding
would prevent any baby from being  FTT or underfed.  She mentioned LC's, and
LLL in a positive way and was delighted the show has sparked so much interest
even before it was on the air !

Our local CBS affiliate said they would be showing a clip from some tape that
was shot at our store last year !! YEAH !!!

Half hour to go : )
