The ABC television show What Would You Do featured the issue of breastfeeding in public tonight. They had an 18 month old and 4 year old feeding at a coffee shop. The other actor in the coffee shop, a woman sitting at the table next to the breastfeeding child, berates the mom/child for breastfeeding in public and for breastfeeding a child of that age.
The question was, what would you do if you saw a person berating a woman feeding her baby/toddler/child? Or even what would you do if you saw a woman feeding her baby/toddler/child?
The bystanders responses were almost all thoughtful and caring toward the mother/child. There was only one table shown that was not supportive of the mom/child. That was very uplifting to see extended breastfeeding featured on national television in a positive light.
From their website:
"Breastfeeding Tot: Breastfeeding in public is controversial, but even more controversial is the age at which breastfeeding should cease at altogether. So what would you do if you publically saw a mother breastfeeding her toddler?" http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/10/primetime-what-would-you-do-featuring-comedian-howie-mandel-airs-friday-october-5-9-pm/
