Some MDC mommas were on the news in Boston this morning!!!(poll voting opportunity as well)  

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
I live in Rhode Island but there was footage of the IParty nurse out in Massachusetts on the news this morning surrounding the news of the passage of the MA breastfeeding bill. I checked my Blackberry this morning (hey, some of have to work ) and my co-worker had e-mailed me to tell me that she saw me and my DS on the news. It's a great piece, almost the whole thing is pictures on mommas BF their kids. What is extremely cool is that I've never really made my feelings on BF known at work (except for a conversation with my boss and we are both nursing a toddler!) and everyone asked about it and I talked to a few younger co-workers and now they are really interested in BF their children when they have them:. Here is the link:

There is also a link to vote in a poll about whether a woman BF her infant in public makes you uncomfortable. I don't know what the whole "infant" thing is about but I really can't complain because it's a great piece.

Thanks for the heads-up. I voted ("no," of course), but I can't get the video to play. Anyone else having that problem?

Voted! +1 vote from Hubby as well.

Video not playing - it won't play on Safari and Firefox for me, but it plays fine on Internet Explorer.

Wow, are you kidding me? I lived in MA for about 7 yrs (before I had my kiddos) and I had no idea it was not protected.
We will prob be back visiting family in the next few mos, and you can bet I'll be NIPing! A LOT.

another "no" vote here of course. I always wonder when I hear people say they are offended at the sight of a woman breastfeeding in public if they've ever actually *seen* a woman breastfeed in public. I know I never even noticed unless I was looking for it.
