Celebrating Lactating

So the New York Daily News is reporting that nearly 150 breast-feeding moms swooped down on Barbara Walters' Manhattan offices to protest remarks she made on "The View," comments that rankled the milky mothers. Evidently, Babs noted that she felt uncomfortable on a recent airline flight in which another passenger was breast-feeding a rugrat.

The Daily News milked the protest for all it's worth:

" 'Just look away if it's really that offensive,' said Anushka Paris-Carter, 32, of Manhattan's East Village, as she fed her 23-month-old daughter, Sasha. The women - carrying signs like 'Mama's latte is best' - said they worry the comments might keep new moms from nursing. Some are demanding an on-air apology.

" 'I'd do it on the subway. I'd do it in the library. I'd do it in the park. I've never been a particularly shy person, but some people are, and they shouldn't be discouraged from doing something natural,' said Jennifer Sheridan, 42, who brought her two children, each breast-fed for two years."

While we don't have much of an opinion on the subject, we will say Jennifer Sheridan sure sounds like someone worth knowing.
