What a fun idea and good publicity without the angry connotations of a
"nurse in." Very positive :-) Pat in SNJ

Subject: Sept 30 Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge
[On Sept 30, Canada participated in the Quintessence Breastfeeding
Challenge. There were 155 registered sites, and 4685 babies. The results
are listed here:

The largest site was in Montreal, with almost 800 babies. The Montreal
article and photos are below - you MUST see the photos!

Power in numbers as 800 moms join breast-in

The triplets taking turns on their mother's breast seemed blissfully unaware
of the thousand other babies and boobies surrounding them at Complexe
Desjardins yesterday.
But the meaning, the joy and the power of yesterday's nurse-in at the mall
was not lost on the other participants, who at the stroke of 11 a.m. began
feeding their babies to launch world breastfeeding week.
(see link for article and photo)
Here is Montréal's public health website with many photos of the
breastfeeding challenge.
