Hooray Bobinogs!

Just thought I'd say a little hooray for Bobinogs, (a TV show aimed at
toddlers/pre-schoolers here in the UK on CBeebies (a BBC channel for small
kids)) before the whole world flames them!

They had a feature on babies today, which started with 3 months old Cara.
They showed her bathing, sleeping etc, but when she was hungry, she was
breastfed! The mum didn't get all shy either - you didn't see her nipple,
but you could see her breast, so at least kids knew where she was feeding
from... I know this will prolly get slated but what's the point in educating
kids via TV, if you're too scared to educate them properly.

Yay for Bobinogs and Cbeebies!

It's been on a few times and I've always been pleased to see it.

Last night I watched Vet Safari - two vets in Africa who spend their days
with wild animals. With wild animals and their 9mo daughter. There was a bit
about bottle-feeding a wildebeest baby and the woman was saying how she
always gets a good feeling when she can feel them latching on, and then they
went on to baby's evening. Which was shot in a hotel room, with Mum sitting
on a bed nursing her daughter and saying "there, from feeding one baby to
feeding another baby" and I was so pleased to see her breastfeeding, openly,
on pre-watershed tv. Of course, you couldn't see anything, because you
can't, but that's what we need more people to see!

yeh, my son loves bobinogs, don't know if he watched it yesterday though,
but he's well aware of breastfeeding, he'd probably make a fuss if he saw a
baby being bottle fed.

How cool - I get so tired of bottles shown as the default baby-feeding
method on kids shows!

there was one book my son had out the library that started with mummy being
tired, so a bunch of relatives offer to look after the baby, then the words
say "mummy fed the baby and went upstairs to bed", now what pops into mind
is mummy breastfeeding, otherwise why couldn't granny do it! What is
actually pictured is baby sat in a highchair and mummy spoon feeding baby, I
so wanted to draw a new picture of mummy sat in a rocking chair nursing! I
suppose at least that one time it wasn't a bottle.
