Breastfeeding on the subway

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, the NYC Breastfeeding Promotion Leadership Comittee and the Brooklyn Alliance for Breastfeeding Empowerment will hold a subway ride in honor of World Breastfeeding Week this Friday @ 12:15 p.m. @ the A train station on 168th St. and Broadway.

The ride, a Maloney aide says, is to protest women getting ticketed by cops for breastfeeding on the subway. The aide, however, was unsure how often women are actually ticketed for breastfeeding.

And will there be any breastfeeding on this ride?

“It’s possible,” the aide says. “Their kids may be very well hungry on the long ride.”

Last year, the “lactivists” had a protest again Barbara Walters because she wasn’t all for public breastfeeding.
