Dear Lactnet, I always have the TV on in my home office. This morning on"Today" show on NBC a segment was on that showed a pregnant reporter strolling the aisles on a baby store for "must haves". Showed the Boppy "to bring baby up to comfortable height while nursing" and a Pump and Style Traveler "available for $100 less from hospitals." ??? Their website says to wait until lactation is established until purchasing a breast pump, though. At least approached BFing as a given. No bottle systems were shown. Then, I came in on tail end discussion of rerun of "The View" on ABC. I saw portion where Joy Bedhar said sleeping with baby was normal and bonding/security for babies. Lisa Ling said it was many times a "cultural" issue. A soap opera fill-in host talked about "lack of sex life" with kids in bed. But overall, the part I saw was favorable! I like seeing what my moms are gleaning from popular shows and I can comment. These shows reach millions of viewers.
