nurse-ins

Public lactation activism

Nurse-ins are organized protests where breastfeeding mothers gather to nurse their babies publicly, typically in response to an incident where a woman was told to stop breastfeeding or leave a location.

The events assert the legal right to breastfeed in public and challenge social stigma: After the restaurant asked her to cover up, local mothers organized a nurse-in outside.
