The Breastfeeding Initiative of Ulster County (BIUC) in New York had a breastfeeding tent every week at the farmer’s market. With chairs and a baby changing table, women felt supported. We had poster boards and markers and asked people to share their breastfeeding experiences. Here are some of the shares.
