On the heels of the awesome victory by the USA Women's Soccer Team in the World Cup (yes, I *am* a graduate of the University of NC at Chapel Hill, where about 75% of the team players are from :) ), thought I'd pass along this very nice mention of breastfeeding: In _Sports Illustrated_'s recent issue on the team, they noted very matter-of-factly that the two mothers on the team breastfed their babies, even keeping the babies on the sidelines during breaks in games or practice. The article went on to add that the player/ moms travelled with the babies (as opposed to leaving them at home with nanny). I thought this was great in a magazine aimed primarily towards men and usually devoid of mention of the parenthood side of professional athletes. On a negative note, I was at a Toys'R'Us in Fayetteville, NC, this weekend and was confronted by a "Baby Registry" table at the entrace to the store. Stacked on the table were a pile of wrapped presents, and directly at eye level, at the top of the stack as though it was the penultimate prize for new parents, was... you guessed it... a see-through "bunny bag" with several cans of Similac formula in it. I filed a complaint at the store & wrote the headquarters-- thought some of you might like to keep an eye out & write as well.
