Hey a similar thing happened to me just this evening.  I was driving to our
State BFHI committee meeting and on the radio they were mentioned the
Australian Breastfeeding Assn's BreastFest.  Mothers and babies will be
going to see Shrek 2 and breastfeeding during the movie.  They discussed
how it would be monitored for recording purposes, and not a giggle or
implication of anything weird in the whole discussion.
Gee don't tell me we are beginning to make inroads in public opinion -
don't know if I can handle it.
Another example of changing public opinion I had was coming home from ILCA
I had numerous things (such as a change of clothes in case my luggage got
lost!!) stuffed into my Breastfeeding a Gift for Life calico bag that I
bought at ILCA.  The number of women who commented on it and told me their
very positive breastfeeding stories was amazing .. so many in fact that I
nearly considered putting it away - the delays were getting a bit long. ;-)
