FEATURED FAN OF THE WEEK
Kori Penkert is the #PositiveBreastfeeding Fan of the Week. Kori started the Idaho Breastfeeding Law Coalition about five years ago while breastfeeding her son after realizing that there was no protection for mothers in public. She has been working very hard to show the importance of a law like this. Her coalition is making great headway this year and is very excited at the prospect of getting something passed. Thank you, Kori, for keeping it positive!
