My first reaction is to the word "babies" which is a loose term at best.  Will this law protect those nursing 9 mo olds?  12 mo olds?  2 yr olds? or older???  I am now nursing my 2 1/2 year old and many people would not consider him a "baby" so where would our rights be?  Would this mean I would be at more risk of Protective Services thinking it was some bizarre sexual thing as even the legislature knows bf is for "babies"???  I do wish the laws would read bf their "children" without any inference of age!!!!  Well, you asked for an opinion and I guess I have a strong one on that point!  When PA was looking at legislature (and just what happened to it anyway?  never heard of it again.....) this was what I wrote my state reps about.  I feel it is important we protect the bf relationship without regard to the age of hte nursling.

That's my .05 worth!
