20/20 special on the breastfeeding awareness campaign
Kathy
I was just wondering if anyone happened to catch the episode of 20/20
on Friday that had a segment about the new commercials for the
breastfeeding awareness campaign being "edited" because of the
formula companies (and their big bucks). Being a staunch advocate
for breastfeeding, I did not find the advertisements (in their
original form) the least offensive, but I was curious what others
thought.

Hello everyone,
This looks like a GREAT place to jump in and intro my family.
I am a single mother in CA, my daughter is 7 (going on 58 hahahahah).
When I first met unschoolers the term HORRIFIED me!!! That was when
Lenelle was about 4 and I who had been to school and only met one
very regimented and seperatist family of homeschoolers ever in my
life still equated school with education. (Even that statement
doesn't make sense as I write it since the 6 girls I remeber seemed
as educated as any of my school peers the years that I had them as
neighbors)
Ironically never sending my daughter to school, organizing our life
into a type of school or joining a charter, but simply embracing life
and motherhood while watching my child grow and learn by leaps and
bounds finally it seems is revealing, the term unschooler has always
fit our life.
No one I had ever known had ever breast fed around me but I had
always wanted to nurse rather than bottle feed so I began looking
into it while I was pregnant and was enveloped into the world of
lactation moms and babies who it turned out in our case were also
largely homeschooling families as well.
The original breastfeeding ads I thought were right on target using
shock and humor to shake people up abit and inform them. It would
have been different if they used real pregnant women but they knew
better.
