from the sight of a nursing toddler or preschooler."

Are you SURE this is the intent?  On what basis?  I'd bet dollars to
doughnuts that the legislators have NO CLUE that it is even possible to
breastfeed a child older than three.  Remember the doctor (a doctor!!) in
Florida who thought that the woman making milk for her two year old MUST
have a pituitary tumor because it wasn't possible ordinarily to make milk
for THAT LONG following a birth??

How exactly was the 3 year cut-off determined, by whom, and on what basis?
Can you find out?
