Another story on the hot-button issue of breastfeeding in public. Adrienne Pine, the American University professor making headlines this week for breastfeeding her sick baby while teaching a class, says that she was surprised to face so much hostility for her choice.
Pin for later!
“It wasn’t the ideal option,” she told “Good Morning America,” “but the fact is, there were no ideal options and it was the best of the options available to me.”
Yesterday I wrote a post about why I think this working mom was just doing what she had to do, and I was excited to also be interviewed by “GMA” for their segment. I said I think we should all cut this breastfeeding professor some slack — check it out below, and let me know what you think about the nursing debate!

I agree that this was not the best option. But, if I were a student in her class, I’d have rather had her teach while breastfeeding than cancel the class.
