"When Breastfeeding Is Accepted, It Won't Be Noticed"

Marin Breastfeeding Coaltion in California have launched a campaign promoting acceptance of public breastfeeding by placing life-sized photographs of mothers and babies feeding around their local area. An article on NBC Bay Area reports:

“During a recent test run in San Rafael, the cutouts drew dozens of gawking eyes and confused second looks. Each cut-out figure is holding a card which reads, “When breastfeeding is accepted, it won’t be noticed.”

The Marin Breastfeeding Coalition said it would love for everyone to notice the campaign and to question why they were even paying so much attention to a breastfeeding mother in the first place.

The group wants the public to know that breastfeeding in public is perfectly acceptable and that it is actually protected by law."
