Council reconsiders breast-feeding issue (Burlington Free Press.com)

A month after giving a cold shoulder to a proposal that the city endorse breast-feeding, the Burlington City Council is poised to take the cause to its bosom.

A resolution on tonight's council agenda from Tim Ashe, P-Ward 3, affirms that "it is the policy of this City Council that breast-feeding is a beneficial practice."

The resolution adds that breast-feeding "should not be discouraged" on city property and urges city businesses and other organizations to "develop breast-feeding-friendly policies." The resolution, once passed, would be distributed widely, including to the Burlington Police Department.
