Thanks for the responses everyone. Seems there are quite a few examples I wasn't aware of. I'd like it to just be shown matter of factly and not really made a point of, like how bottle feeding is shown. I think this would help normalise it in people's minds.

The trouble inothing is ever just shown matter of factly in soap. If there isn't some drama to be got out of it, they don't bother - that's one of the main reasons you hardly ever see kids just around at home as they would be in normal, everyday life.

I do think they've been doing it quite well with Linda Carter - there have been several scenes where you've seen her get a feeding pillow or mention expressing milk without there being a ;problem'.

BIB well that and the fact that they're limited by law with how much they can get the kids to work so they're obviously not going to have them just sitting round the house in the background playing a video game or doing their homework

Agree about Linda, EE is subtly mentioning/hinting at the topic without blatantly going "hey look breastfeeding!"
