lactnuts: 8 days late but here's my letter

4-16-02

Hello Betsy,

I appreciate your point of view. I wish it were that simple: Be discreet and
you'll be able to breastfeed when you need to. Too many mothers have been
told they could not breastfeed or had to leave a place EVEN WHEN THEY WERE
BREASTFEEDING DISCREETLY. One lady left a place of business and was
breastfeeding in her car with tinted windows when she was accosted for doing
so. I wish this did not have to be legislated however I am convinced it will
be better for moms and babies after doing so. I am glad that in my state I
cannot be arrested for indecent exposure because I am breastfeeding my baby.
