In Our Forums: What do you think about Forest Park’s ban on breastfeeding children 2 and older?

Are you an advocate of breastfeeding any age child in public? Do you think it’s wrong to breastfeed a child over 2 years old in public? Do you think the city has the right to ban breastfeeding of any age child, in public?

More than 100 breast-feeding women and their supporters plan to hold a “nurse-in” Monday in front of the Forest Park City Hall to protest a new city law that limits public breast-feeding.

The city council passed a public indecency ordinance earlier this week which allows for breast-feeding, but only for children under the age of 2. City attorney Robert Mack Jr. said the ordinance is aimed at public nudity and not breast-feeding.
