Well that was short-lived.
Nurse-in was canceled. And not in a good way. More details to follow. By the way, anyone with experience with breastfeeding in the military, please speak up, we could really use some words of wisdom about now.

First Nurse-In
Is it silly that I'm ridiculously excited about attending my first nurse-in?
Background:
A mother nursing her child at our base's E-Club was asked to cover up or leave. Hmm... yeah... you can't actually require a nursing woman to do either.
Result:
We're staging a simple, quiet nurse-in at the same location. The idea is for people to come, eat lunch at the restaurant, nurse if they have a nursling, and show support with numbers. We'll have a copy of the applicable federal laws on hand if anyone cares to ask. T-shirts for the munchkins are in the works. T-shirts will read: "Anytime. Anywhere. Doing my part to normalize nursing in public." They may not be the most creative t-shirts ever, but they'll hopefully get the point across.
Man, the things I never dreamed I'd be doing, much less enjoying!
