I saw the show. It was good. I was pleased to hear them say that the Surgeon General's Goal for 2010 is to have 75% moms leaving the hospital breastfeeding and 50% continuing. I was also glad to hear her emphasize the word "exclusively". The interviewee was good, maybe she could have left out her last line, something like, I know it's hard I did it myself for 2 children for 3 months. Don't know if she was talking about after she went back to work or 3 months total. ( they had mentioned at that point that women who work will need to pump, and talked about the wonderful programs that some companies offer for pumping/breastfeeding moms.)

(I'm so excited I can barely type :) ! ) Just saw the intro. to the TODAY show, the one that shows Katie Couric interrupting the am area news program with little blurbs about features for today and she said " we will talk about the results of study showing that breastmilk is DEFINITELY better than formula for your baby" not maybe, not suggesting, but DEFINITELY!!!!! Oh happy day.... Sorry I think I missed the segment itself, AMs are too busy here, but hopefully someone else saw it!!
