My kids' first protest / act of lactivism

One more milestone to record, I guess. We participated in the nurse-in at the Hirshhorn today. I took my 9-month-old and we wandered around the museum, and yes, he got hungry. Later, towards the end, my husband arrived with our 3-year-old. Given the general state of chaos, I think both kids did well. The museum certainly knows that while its apology was nice, we are an organized crowd who won't let a teachable moment pass us by. I firmly believe that people who are uncomfortable with nursing don't have to watch me - no one's forcing them to! And I firmly believe that I should be able to feed my baby in a place that's clean (i.e., no bathrooms). Can't we all just be nice to each other? Here's coverage in the Post.
