Breastfeeding Behind the Wheel
Tuesday, April 3, 2007
Did you know you could drive and breastfeed in Michigan? I know. Sounds weird, right? Well, while you can breastfeed and drive in Michigan, you certainly can't in Ohio, like this mother found out.
In 2003, a mom was sentenced to three months house arrest for nursing while driving. A trucker reported her to the state patrol and she was subsequently charged with driving without a valid license, failing to use a child restraint and failure to comply with police.
This week her sentence was turned over on appeal based on technicalities.
I definitely don't think driving and nursing is a very safe option for moms to use, even if your child REALLY needs to eat. Next time, this mom should just pull over at the next exit.
