Hello! I just thought someone might want to see what the State of Tennessee is working on. I am displeased with the phrase " a chlid 12 months or younger" in the bill. Though the last line "prohibits local governments from criminalizing or restricting breastfeeding" must protect those infants breastfeeding in public who are "older than 12 months of age". Have a great weekend! Warmly, Kate Cropp WHNP, IBCLC, MSN Nashville, Tennessee, USA Mama to Henry- 20 months and breastfeeding with passion! "Breastfeeding in public. Allows a mother to breastfeed a child 12 months or younger in any location, public or private, where the mother and child are authorized to be present. Prohibits local governments from criminalizing or restricting breastfeeding." TCA Secs. 39-00-0000; 68-00-0000 Senate Status: Senate passed 04/19/2006. House Status: House passed 04/05/2006.
