Moms take babies to 'nurse-in' at Clackamas Victoria's Secret (OregonLive)

Katie Gregerson's baby, Brighton, wore a big smile Saturday afternoon. 'He's just been fed,' said Gregerson, 26. She was smiling, too, since she had nursed her son outside a Victoria's Secret store in Clackamas Town Center.
