Hi,
I read the article about the incident in the Jerusalem Post (leading English
language daily) and they wrote;"It was unclear whether the child choked as a
result of the nursing or other circumstances."  The article that Henya
posted was absurd.  The so called expert wrote that just like we would not
read or dress while traveling we would not feed a baby either - what!?!  I
would love to know what she is basing any of her opinions on (I for one, do
read on the bus to pass the time as do millions of others, though I am
usually already dressed before getting on the bus)  How many times have
babies been breastfed on buses with no incident?  These so called experts
never cease to amaze.
All the best,
Chayn in Israel IBCLC
