"Babies" is being released this Sunday!. I'm really looking forward to seeing it, hopefully with some of my MCH buddies, but I also had to note this little fact that one of them pointed out. According to the MPAA:
"'Babies' is rated PG (Parental Guidance suggested). Breast feeding."
Yes, the movie "Babies" is PG only - only - because it depicts breastfeeding.
The mind boggles.

I wonder if they considered noting it as "nudity", but decided against it? I would imagine to a Westerner, where breasts have been so sexualized, the topless mothers may be shocking, especially because I think this movie is meant to be watched with children. Perhaps many children have never seen a baby reach for a breast, or seen a woman nursing several babies at once (babies that may not be hers), maybe some moms appreciate the heads up.
Hey, Connie Livingston (www.birthsource.com) posted something on Facebook about a new movie about doulas being released in June. I can't find anything about it. Have you heard of it? Our Tarrant Co. Birth Network is doing a Doula Extravaganza for our July meeting. Just curious if you've heard anything...
You know, I feel like something has been mentioned in blogs here and there but now I can't remember what it was...aha, searching in Google Reader is so effective! Here you go:
