Melissa has asked about the breastfeeding legislation in Massachusetts. As  a 
representative of the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition (MBC), I keep 
tabs  on this aspect of breastfeeding protection. There are currently 3 bills 
that  have been filed in Massachusetts: one House bill to protect breastfeeding 
in  public, one Senate bill to license the IBCLC, and one Senate bill that is a 
 combination of public breastfeeding protection and worksite protection of  
breastfeeding. The bills have not yet been assigned a bill number nor referred  
to committee, as the committee structure has been revised. If you want a copy 
of  the text of these bills let me know and I will provide them for you.
 
Also make sure to check out the MBC's new breastfeeding promotion campaign  
materials on our website at _www.massbfc.org_ (http://www.massbfc.org) .
