> Dear Lactnetters who are or have been in Italy,

> Permission to post.  What is the cultural and legal acceptance of nursing

> attachment to the country -- to the extent that their child, who will be 17
> months old when traveling there with them, is named Umbria.  My friend is
> concerned about whether nursing her toddler there will get much
> disapproval, and whether she could get in any legal trouble by nursing in
> public there.  This inquisitive child will not tolerate being covered while
> nursing, so it would limit the family quite a bit to explore Italy without
> being visible nursing.

> Thanks,

-- 
Because the Medieval Church, with the support of kings, princes and
secular authorities, controlled medical education and practice, the
Inquisition constitutes, among other things, an early instance of the
"professional" repudiating the skills and interfering with the rights
of the "nonprofessional" to minister to the poor. -Thomas Szasz, The
Manufacture of Madness-
