I loved this line from the article

“Mother’s milk provides the best nutritional, immunological and emotional nurturance for the normal growth and development of babies. No manufactured formula offers anything close.”

I'm from Sonoma County too! Sonoma, in fact.

Next, Marin should hold one of those art auctions where they distribute big fiberglass statues of mamas nursing (one sitting, one standing?) and have local artists decorate them, display them around town all summer (or year, this is CA), than have an auction at the end to raise money for, say, the local La Leche League chapter. Maybe then hire a full time coordinator or something.

Marin County used to be the breast cancer capital of the country. I guess they're trying to put an end to that.

Very cool!

Now they just need to make some more cutouts with women nursing older babies/toddlers to round it out!

For sure! I wish toddler nursing would become more normalized.
