Jen at The Lactivist saw my request for pictures of you nursing near landmarks anywhere in the world, and contributed this photo of her nursing baby Emmit at Ellis Island this year. It's hard to see, but she's wearing one of her "Milk Jugs" shirts.
And to the right is Alexis, who works for UNICEF Philippines. She writes, "Here is a picture of me nursing my 7-month-old son, Anton, behind what is left of the original east gate of the naval port in Subic Bay, Philippines. The naval port was established in 1885 when the Philippines was still under Spanish rule. Over 200 years later, this port became part of a United States military base in the Philippines. I thought it was so cool to nurse at a historical landmark. I have done it everywhere else!"
(UNICEF Philippines is right in the middle of a closely watched conflict over formula marketing, now in the hands of the Philippines Supreme Court. See her blog for a description of this week's events.)
We're developing a nice collection here. Add these to pictures of nursing at the Grand Canyon, in Egypt and Jordan, and many other countries. Do you have one to add? Email me a photo of you nursing near a landmark anywhere in the world!
