Change breastfeeding restrictions

As I type this, dozens, perhaps hundreds of moms are breastfeeding their babies, toddlers and preschoolers in Forest Park, GA. Their restrictions on breastfeeding bring to light the CHANGE that is needed in the US and world-wide to make breastfeeding acceptable to the general public.

I'm collecting a list of places with breastfeeding restrictions. You can post them below or at http://www.attachedresources.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=52&p=646#p646 (I will add any here to that list).

I am also accepting volunteers to help organize peaceful changes, including:
- petition creators (like http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/repeal-breastfeeding-restrictions-in-forestpark-ga/)
- individuals to fax and mail copies of signed petitions
- individuals to help moderate comments that may come through that are not breastfeeding supportive
- individuals to create facebook and twitter information using #breastfeedingisnormal

Please email amanda@attachedresources.com to assist.

A nice reaffirmation on the benefits of breastfeeding out of Denmark

They followed 70,000 cases and found that breastfeeding was associated with a decreased risk of seizures.
