Capitol Hill nurse in, and an attempt at a new nursing world record.

Thanks to Angela at Breastfeeding 123 for this one:  A nurse in to support Congresswoman Maloney's Federal Breastfeeding Promotion Act is scheduled for May 10th, the day she plans to re-introduce the bill.  For more information on the event, see Angela's post.  The bill would protect breastfeeding and pumping women from discrimination in the workplace, create tax incentives for employers who establish lactation programs for employees, and create a tax deduction for breastfeeding equipment. 

And in other news, a national nurse-in in the Philippines scheduled for tomorrow will attempt to establish a new Guiness Book of World Records record for simultaneous nursing, set for 10:00 am tomorrow (May 2nd, 2007) in locations around the country.
