After a humiliating experience at LAX, Emily Calandrelli is hoping the bill she helped craft can help other new mothers avoid the pain she felt.
Orange County mom Emily Calandrelli hopes to hear soon that a bill she helped draft has passed through Congress, making it easier for breastfeeding moms to pass through airports.
"I was allowed to bring my gel icepacks that I needed to keep my breastmilk cool and safe for my child," she said."I was allowed to bring them through. They just weren't aware of their own policy." In response, Irvine mother and Orange County Democratic Congresswoman Katie Porter crafted legislation to update an existing 2016 law to help women like Calandrelli.
