Lactivist Janice Reynolds prepared a video compilation of pictures from three major nurse-ins over the last two years:
1. The View nurse-in, June 6, 2005, with over 300 attendees in New York City and five other cities.
2. Toys “R” Us nurse-in, September 21, 2006, in Times Square in New York City.
3. Delta Airlines nurse-in, November 21, 2006, with nearly 900 activists at 40 airports across the United States.
Reynolds says:
Mothers in North America are increasingly taking to holding “Nurse-Ins” to uphold their right to breastfeed anytime, anywhere, in order to feed and nurture their children. Organized primarily through Internet networks, it is a mother’s show of solidarity and community with each other, at this time in our culture when this simple act of nurturing our children can bring dirty looks, nasty comments or even cause the mother and child to be removed from businesses or airplanes.
