[On the BFHI & CH] " but the main point was that the hospital was committed to encouraging new moms to breastfeed. And that may be the message that the average viewer got - no problem there." Except that the "encouragement" that the hospital offered was erroneous/ limited information, an LC who didn't ask about weight gain, apparently no well-child check ups & no follow up. I didn't see the hospital as enouraging breastfeeding-- I saw it as failing completely to support breastfeeding. Unfortunately, I think the average viewer will see that a hospital may place a lot of stress on new moms to breastfeed, without backing that up with any support. The line about mothers "not using common sense, but relying on medical advice" also, I think, reinforces the idea that breastfeeding is a *medical* event to be controlled by doctors, rather than something mothers CAN and SHOULD learn as much as they can about. And the worst thing, IMO, is that this entire storyline was about breastfeeding-- and ther was NO BREASTFEEDING at all in the show, right? A dead baby-- from breastfeeding. The neighbor's happy baby-- being formula fed. The doctor's sick & fussy baby-- breastfed. It seems incredibly hard to believe, to me anyway, that these images of breastfeeding & formula feeding moms DON'T carry an overall negative message to the average viewer. Teresa
