Heard but not seen...
As you know, our show is creative and often we are producing elements of the show while we're on the air. That means our conversations are quite different than the ones Charlie Gibson has with his staff.
Here are the top three quotes heard behind the scenes at WGN Morning News this week:
1/ "And then you want me to pull his pants down?"
2/ "Are you going with the usual wig?"
3/"We’ll take a chance on Miss Piggy, but not the cartoon M&M."
And this behind the scenes moment wasn't about the show, but worth sharing, because we want your input.
Two females who really put the broad in broadcaster had a rip-roaring argument about breast-feeding. I won't name names and I won't say where Robin and Val stand on the issue but let's just say words like fluid, uterus and bonding were used, which inspired Paul and I to hold our stomachs.
We have not done the research but supporters claim breast-feeding reduces bunyons later in life while opponents have pushed the negative effects----critics suggested Charles Manson was breast-fed.
What's your input?

While I think every mom should do what they feel is best, all research points to nursing being the best way to feed a baby. It reduces allergies and improves speech and IQ. I pumped milk for my daughter, who was a tiny preemie, and have nursed my son who is now 6 months old.

It's also said that breast feeding is a good contraceptive but so is yelling at your husband, "Get da hell away from me, haven't you done enough?"

Breastfeeding is best for baby nutritionally, but formula feeding IS a close second. And the whole bonding argument for BF is hogwash. There is no way that anyone will ever convince me that a BF baby is more bonded to its mother than a FF one. There's just no way to realistically prove that and it's insulting to state it as fact.
