Breastfeeding Witch
CBS4 Boston - New England's Source For Breaking News, Weather, and Sports for Boston, Worcester, Cape Cod, Nashua, and More: Breastfeeding Witch Causing Stir In Vermont: "(CBS4) BRATTLEBORO, VT One Halloween display in Vermont is causing people to look twice, and many can’t believe what they see.
David and Lauren Petrie of Brattleboro decked out their home for Halloween. But it’s not the pumpkins that are attracting attention. It’s “The Witch Lactation Station.”
That’s right. The Petrie’s holiday display features a breastfeeding witch, complete with a gourd breast and a baby witch doll.
“I would hope if witches have babies and the witches would have to feed their babies, they would nurse,'' Lauren Petrie told the Brattleboro Reformer. “I am also advocating being comfortable with nursing in public.”
Some in town say the display is inappropriate, particularly because their kids are asking questions. Others can see the humor in it, and say it’s a great way to raise awareness of breastfeeding.
The Petries say they have no plans to take down the display. “We are having fun with it,'' David Petrie told the Reformer. “My four kids were breast-fed and we believe it is the best way to feed a child.''"
