Woman ticketed for breast-feeding while driving

The Columbian
Published:

A 43-year-old Washington woman was given a $136 ticket this week for breast-feeding while driving.

The Seattle Times reports the woman was pulled over on Interstate 5 around 7 p.m. Wednesday after someone called 911 to report a child sitting in a driver’s lap.

When the trooper approached the car, he could tell that the woman was breast-feeding.

She admitted she was breast-feeding and had done it before because her 1-year-old son screams uncontrollably when he’s hungry.

Francis says they had a talk about safety and parental responsibility and the officer issued a ticket for child-restraint violation.

Court records show the woman has a history of driving infractions, including using a cellphone while driving, speeding and following too closely.
