Local women join in show of support for breast-feeding mom (WPRI Eyewitness News)

BOSTON Five mothers showed up with their infants today at the Delta Airlines ticket counter at Boston's Logan Airport. They were there to protest the removal of a nursing mother from a Delta commuter flight in Burlington, Vermont.

The so-called "nurse-in" at Logan was one of about a dozen held at airports around the country.

The mothers had not met before in person, but gathered at the airport after word of the New Mexico mother's case spread over Internet message boards.
