More Good Legislative News

There’s more good news from Wisconsin as last night the Madison Common Council passed an ordinance protecting breastfeeding public similar to the ordinance passed by the county board in Dane County, Wisconsin. The new law bans interfering with a mother who is breastfeeding or pumping in public in Madison, the capital city of Wisconsin.
Way to go, Madison! I live in WI, and am very proud to hear this. As a new mother to a three month old, I haven’t yet had the need to breastfeed in public, but this ordinance gives me extra courage for when the time comes.
Angela, I found your blog about a month ago. It’s been very helpful and encouraging to me. I greatly appreciate you sharing your personal experiences, thanks for writing!
Selena, you made my day! Thanks for your comment! Congratulations on your baby
