Dear Lactnetters who are or have been in Italy,

Permission to post.  What is the cultural and legal acceptance of nursing
in public in Italy?  My friend and her husband have great emotional
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,
Ruth
