Ok, I have to admit I am slightly obsessed with Shorters and watch it religiously but....
I just wanted to ask if anyone else saw "Shannon" breastfeeding on the show last week and didn't you all think it was GREAT!!! I am so impressed that they did that on the show and hope it helps slowly make b/f in public less of a taboo area! I just had to share my excitement

on the zoo last night they showed a lady breastfeeding too, she was doing it in front of the orangutan that is pregnant to encourage the orang to breastfeed too.

I saw that on the zoo last night too!
Didnt realise that Shannon was actually pregnant, but now it makes a lot of sense why she has been up north for so long...!!

Yeah it was in one of the Womans Day/weekly a little while ago.
She was pregnant and it was planned and David Whakira (sp?) - Paul (aka Tama) has a kid as well and that was planned. They are both about 19 - 20. Shannon (don't know her real name) has a boyfriend and might even be engaged now and David is engaged to another girl and I think they have a little boy...
Also Hayley (Bec Cartright) off Home and Away is pregnant in real life and on TV!! I should become an actress!! Get paid and can be preggaz / have baby on the job!! AWESOME!! hehe

i saw it too and gotta say i was a little weirded out as i didnt realise she had had a bubs - i was thinking hmmm now had she got a fake boob over hers or something but it looked so real. now i know bubs is hers i think thats absolutley great and bubs is erally cute aye. oh and i saw the zoo last night too. was thinking it would be kinda strange to have an orang staring at you b/f but its also a really cool idea.

I thought it was awsome. Thats how it should be. Women shouldent be ashamed of b/feeding in public. Good on her.

i really wonder if they would get that many letters against. Maybe i was just lucky but i never had a prob when i was b/f jaidyn in public, no neg comments or looks that i noticed. In fact i usually got the gooey looks (from woman - i would question it from men lol) are there really ppl out there that have the gall to react poorly to a mother b/f her baby? I took the boys on a plane from akl to palmy when they were 5mths and was feeding jaidyn (in the aisle seat) with heaps of folk on the plane gooing and gaaing when he decided to have a big look around hence flashing my wears to everyone and no-one battered and eyelid. I thinki if i saw someone being neg to a b/f mum i would have words with them - in fact i know i would!!!!

Hey I'm in Aus and Hayley in Home and Away is now being played by another actress. It drives me crazy when they do that! Cause of course, we can't tell the difference!
Back to breastfeeding, I fed on the plane too, and no-one seemed to care at all, although I must admit I felt a little uncomfortable.

The "new" Hayley just came on the show here last night - she annoyed me... It annoyed David too cause she wasn't as "hot" as Bec Cartwright!!
Seems like shes a first time professional actress - but as my mate said today Flynn now isnt the original Flynn - I can't even remember!!
Im giving myself 6 months to forget who Bec Cartwright was!!

I have just spotted that they have changed Hayley! I am not impressed I am however slightly confused. Every time I see her I am like 'who is that!'. I hate it when they do that, would have been better if they killed her off or something.
Anyways back to shorty street, I am really pleased that they have normalised b/feeding on the show. I never got any funny looks b/f the boys and I was never brave enough to tandum feed the girls in public  Would feed them by themselves tho.

She dosent even look CLOSE to the "real" Hailey! At least years ago, when they swapped acoters, (Selena on H&A years ago swapped for a while) they made an effort to replace her with one that looked similar!!
Did you see on Rove a few months ago, Kate Hudson was on there talking about breast feeding. It's all good!

If they had dyed the "new" hayley's hair blonde it would've been a bit better or had an episode where she wanted a "change" so dyed her hair... bit odd I think.
I noticed since having Arna that b/feeding in public I always got "looks" from other people - but I always used the changing rooms at the malls with the "breastfeeding room", a chair behind a curtain!!
With #2 I am not going to care!! Especially with Arna, don't want her sitting in a bathroom for 20 mins while I feed!!
Times are changing though!! YAY

I will always think that hayley (bec) is a lil girl, shes got that lil girl look, lol.
when i was in aucks for idol we had lunch in the same cafe as the shorty street stars and one of the ladies was telling me that shannon (i think her name is amber) had had a baby girl two weeks previous, this was AGES ago. It was sooooo cool to see her with her baby on telly,,, very special very kewl
