I actually live in Northern California and heard this story on the radio
this morning. I believe they said it was in the town of Eureka (far
Northern CA.) and the report said the woman said she was grabbing the
babies and nursing them because they needed "lactate (sic) nourishment."
Of course the news story made this woman out to be a total lunatic. Why
does breastfeeding only get negative attention?! <grrrrr>
