LTE published

I wrote the Bee earlier in the week because they had an article about maternity leave illustrated with a cartoon of a woman bottle feeding. They published it today. I wasn't really intending for them to publish it, so it's not terribly well written, but I'm glad they printed it anyway. Here it is:

Re: "Pregnant pauses," Scene, June 13.I would appreciate it if The Bee would choose breastfeeding rather than bottle feeding as a topic for illustration. Most new mothers in California do breastfeed, and it is by far the healthiest way to feed an infant. The more it is depicted in the media, the more normal and expected breastfeeding will be. For the health of children in California, please do what you can to support breastfeeding.
