Recently moms on the website care2.com started a petition to Bring Breastfeeding Back to Sesame Street." More than 30,000 are insisting that Sesame Street return back to its glory days of the 70s and 80s when nursing was shown tastefully on the show.

According to petitioners:

"If we normalize breastfeeding in our community, especially with our children, we can help raise a generation of breastfeeders which will support our economy, make for healthier children and lessen the risk of breast cancer for many nursing mamas!"

Sesame Street producers claim that depicting breastfeeding does not fit within the science, math, engineering, and technology (STEM) curriculum that the show has decided to focus on this season. Show creators say they would depict breastfeeding again should it be a "natural part of the storyline."

What do you think, should breastfeeding be brought back to Sesame Street?

Healthy families begin with breastfeeding moms nursing healthy babies. Healthy families continue when moms and dads have healthy lifestyles that include eating the right foods and getting enough exercise.

This year milkmakers is taking healthy families a step further by encouraging all moms and dads to get moving with Moms that Move.

For the next few months milkmakers will be hosting conversation on our Facebook page about how to get moving, what physical activity we are engaging in and why it's important. Let's inspire each other to move!

Nothing can replace the personalized support a lactation consultant gives to a new mom. If you are a lactation consultant, please join our directory so that nursing moms in need of help can easily find your services. If you are a mom, help other moms find local support by letting your lactation consultant know that she can sign up here to be listed in the milkmakers lactation consultant directory (free).
