Using Mother Nature's method (The Frederick News-Post)

BRADDOCK HEIGHTS ----Laryssa Callan says she doesn't consider herself a "lactivist." She simply sees breast-feeding as a natural process that women shouldn't be embarrassed about.
The mother of three is organizing a "nurse-out" this Sunday in Baker Park as part of World Breastfeeding Week, which ends Monday. Ms. Callan said she learned of the idea through the nonprofit organization ProMom, Promotion of Mother's Milk.
