POSITIVE portrayal of BFing on telly/film - examples?

For me Friends would be the shining beacon - both when Carol had Ben, and when Rachel had Emma. They made it funny and took the piss a bit (like when Ross had to drink the breastmilk) but IMO it was so NORMAL within the episodes that it showed BFing as normal? If that makes sense.

Also I don't know what the general view of Family Guy is on MN, I love it, and even though most 'controversial' issues are done in a shocking way, I liked the times they've mentioned BFing - there is an episode where Lois tries to wean Stewie, already 1 yo by then.

So, any other positive examples? Thought it'd be nice to share as usually I only see complaints about programmes that handle it badly.

Remember The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, the mentalist bfs the little one even though she's meant to just be the nanny and not a wet nurse, and the gardener sees it (leads to his poor demise :().
