A new organization is hoping to make breastfeeding in public more accepted in our area.
The group, called "Breastfeeding Friendly Arkansas," met Saturday at the Fayetteville Public Library.

"Whatever she chooses to do, we want to be there with her to help support her through her breastfeeding journey," said Shawn House with the organization.
In Arkansas, women are legally allowed to nurse in public.
