> I often wonder what large numbers of moms openly BF in public would do. I keep forgetting to ask moms in our LLL groups to practice "birthday nursing". I think if once a month, on her child's birthday number (the 16th, the 9th, whatever), each mother who is willing to would go someplace where she doesn't normally see mothers nursing in public and do so, it could be the start of a revolution. In our fairly liberal community, when I've encouraged mothers just to nurse in public, they always say, "But I already do!" No, they don't. They nurse at the health food store, or on our more liberal Commons, but since they are less likely to *go* to the redneck mall, they're less likely to *nurse* there. I'm suggesting going to one of those less supportive places, and making a point of doing it but only once a month and not as a group. Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC, LLLL Ithaca, NY
