I saw a commercial funded by WIC and another agency about breastfeeding the other day! I didn't catch the beginning, but it was talking about how breastfed babies have less risk of asthma and obesity (big problems here!) They were at a play ground and the mom sat down and nursed right there in front of the kids, while her oldest played! The best part, it encouraged mom's to breastfeed for a year! It's pretty rare for mom's to nurse that "long" here, so hopefully that will change.

I also saw one that encouraged dads to be supportive of mom's breastfeeding - bringing her the baby - bringing her a glass of water. It was awsome!:thumb :love

Don't forget the one where you are watching a dirt biker as they talk about breastfeeding, then you see the dad giving the baby to the mom to nurse and the mom is the dirt biker :thumb She then sits in a parked car to nurse while wearing her dirt biking stuff, and gasp it's an "older" baby.
