First of all let me say that this baby belonged in a car seat!
How would the policeman "see what she was doing." As I was driving around
today I looked through the windows of cars and I don't think that I could
have seen if someone were feeding a baby while driving. If she were
feeding a 3 month old baby the baby would be on Mom's lap and in her one arm.
Perhaps a semi-truck driver could look down and see it but another car
driver would have a problem, don't you think?
Maybe I did not check every angle. Some of you could try it and see of you
can see a driver's lap and arms at breast height.
I'm wondering if the driver was driving erratically or in a distracted
manner that created a reason to examining closer, or even to pull over the
driver.
Well, I do have more pressing matters to attend to but this item caught my
attention.
