With all the recent controversy surrounding Sesame Street, it was awesome to see Sesame Street has a history of promoting breastfeeding and nursing in public as well as engaging kids on what breastfeeding is and why it's important. And we want to see more of it! When kids grow up seeing breastfeeding as normal, everyone benefits.
So can you tell me how to get breastfeeding to Sesame Street?
Join our Breastfeeding on the Street campaign:
Write to Sesame Street and let them know you want to see breastfeeding back on Sesame Street. Carla from Life as a Reader has a great form letter to get you started.

I LOVE this idea! I remember being absolutely floored (in a good way) when I saw the "Buffy nurses Cody" video and then wondering WHY Sesame Street hadn't featured breastfeeding in recent years. Here's hoping they listen!
I like this idea...but I have a question.
What recent controversy are you talking about?
Oh, the Katy Perry skit that was cut.
Love them! How cute are these buttons! And with the focus on healthier eating, this may just catch on! Maybe even Alan will sell pump supplies in Hooper's store :)
Ah, ok...I heard a little something about that.
PS: The buttons are PERFECT!
