Breastfeeding Ban on Base? A new mom who works in food services at Fort Bragg wants to make sure that all nursing mothers know their rights. This, after an anonymous person complained that she was breastfeeding her three-month-old in the food court area during her break. Tabitha Redding says she breastfed her other children in mini-mall and never faced a complaint before, noting, “I’ve always been modest about it. I’m trying to make myself as comfortable as the other people.” Nevertheless, the complaint sparked a notice from her boss, ordering her to stop nursing her baby at the mall because, he said, the Army and Air Force Exchange Services, which manages military malls, bans it. Her boss later said that he miscommunicated. Under federal law, women in the US may breastfeed their babies in public.

Prenatal Testing and Politics: Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA) have reintroduced the Pre-natally and Post-natally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act, which aims to “amend the Public Health Service Act to increase the provision of scientifically sound information and support services to patients receiving a positive test diagnosis for Down syndrome or other prenatally diagnosed conditions.” (Via Jaden’s Journal.)

Tired Tiger? Golf instructor Butch Harmon shared some thoughts about how new fatherhood is affecting Tiger Woods’ game (Mr. Woods and his wife, Elin, welcomed baby Sam earlier this month): “I saw him play a lot of holes up close. I saw him hit some brilliant shots and then saw some terrible ones. I don’t think he had the preparation that he would normally have for a major championship with the birth of his daughter. I think he’s in a different place in his life now…Talking to him on the practice areas, though, left me in no doubt that he’s still extremely happy. He’s really loving being a dad. The arrival of his baby is going to make him a better person. In the long term it will make him a better golfer, giving him a wonderful outlet away from the game.”
