More classic Sesame Street.

Sesame Street was so ahead of its time. 

Remember this simple but powerful clip?  Thanks to Amy at Musings of a Crunchy Domestic Goddess, who passed along the link, here's another breastfeeding clip from Sesame Street, circa 1977.  In that year the rate of "any breastfeeding" in the hopsital was just under 45%, compared to around 70% now.  I just have to wonder if you'd see this on the air today.

Like the bird said: well, that's nice.

Go Sesame Street!

I *heart* Sesame St.

Thank you so much for posting this Tanya! It made me smile. I have heard about this clip, but couldn't find it.

It's amazing how simple and to the point this clip is. I wish they would incorporate it into newer shows.

Turns out Sesame Street is a whole lot more enlightened than Youtube.

This clip along with another pro-breastfeeding clip have been removed due to "use violations." Interestingly enough, the other 10,000-plus Sesame Street clips remain. Makes one wonder exactly what the use violation was.

I was literally moved to tears by the sweetness of the Sesame Street segment and I'm now literally shaking with anger over youtube's obvious attack on content.

Appalling.
