Isn't that strange:
In the Netherlands there is going to be a nurse-in next sunday in a
restaurtant that ordered abreastfeeding mom tp leave or stop. In our country
it will be the restaurant having the bad press and they will do anything to
turn that negative image back.
We're celebrating WBW this week (week 40 every year, also a cultural
adaptation) and bf has lots of press attention with the Lancet astma study
and a Dutch study saying 40% of adults dislike bf in public. This was a
rather small study and the negatives came predominantly form people in the
18-24 year group

Warmly greeting,
