Winnie... I understand the issue... as well as the passion and the outrage!  I just don't think that a nurse-in is the most effective way to address the issue.  In fact, I think it has the potential to do more harm than good if the message we hope to convey is that Breastfeeding is Normal.  :-)

  As I understand it, the idea is for those interested anywhere to "nurse-in" at their local VS store as there have apparantly been a variety of incidents in several stores. There was one here in SW Wisconsin that got coverage on our local TV station this week.
It doesn't surprise me that there are so many reports of problems with this chain of stores. They seem to be the largest one dealing with "sexy" lingerie. The mindset of the employees is to emphasize the sexual aspect of women's bodies, especially the breasts. Therefore, they may be even more likely than the general public to view any breast function strictly in a sexual connotation.
