Should breastfeeding while driving be banned?
John Weekes at NZ Herald reports:
Police and child welfare authorities are hunting a woman who was spotted breastfeeding and driving at the same time, with three other children in the car.
In a move called “highly dangerous”, the woman attracted attention with her erratic driving at Kamo, near Whangarei.
The Government has banned using a cellphone while driving. Will it also ban breastfeeding while driving?
I have to admit I have no first hand knowledge of how distracting it is to breastfeed while driving a car, but surely it is more dangerous than using a cellphone?
Or maybe the Government should do a compromise, and say it is legal to breastfeed while driving only if you use a hands-free kit.
