I'm obviously on a roll posting about breastfeeding lately. I'm sure I'll post about something different soon, but this one is also about breastfeeding in public. I came across these clips from Sesame Street.
I think it's wonderful that this was shown on Sesame Street. Too bad it isn't always seen as normal and natural now. In fact, a hospital recently came under fire for having a poster of a toddler pretending to breastfeed her doll. Such a thing is absolutely normal - a child will mimic what the mother does, be that pretending to bottle feed a toy or pretending to breastfeed a toy. K pretends to breastfeed his toys and puts bumGenius on them because that's what he sees at home. We also watch the old school Sesame Street videos. ;-)
I put this video was on my gbabys playlist awhile back, I wanted her to see this as normal feeding behavior from the start :)
