You and the mother might also wish to write a letter to your respective
federal House representative detailing the story and asking that he or she co-
sponsor this bill in response to constituent needs. Take advantage of this
situation! Be sure to forward any replies to NABA (the National Alliance for
Breastfeeding Advocacy) who is tracking the responses of the legislators. Send
these to Barbara Heiser at:
