nutrition from food, so breast milk is no longer necessary. but she says it will not hurt the child. >> it's not something everyone feels comfortable with. but it's really the choices between mom and baby and the family. >> reporter: most of the parents we spoke with are fighting with the cover mom, saying if she has the time and energy to breast-feed, why not? >> as long as the child still wants to nurse, they should be able to nurse. >> if that's your thing, well, more power to you. >> reporter: in the article, grumet says people who see her feeding her son threaten to call child services on me or think it's abuse. grumet said she posed because she wants them to realize that it's, quote, biologically normal. >> reporter: and grumet went on to say, she hopes the more people who see the

seed, settles in and protects itself. >> it's a wax that they produce out of their backs and out of their sides. >> reporter: inside those tiny wax shelters, the beetle is sucking the tree's nutrients, destroying new growth. >> so it destroys the tree. >> reporter: so the hemlocks are being given a shot of poison, to kill the beetlezs, from inside out. injectors go into shallow holes. air pressure provides the force. as each is opened, the tree receives the shot of life. winter usually kills up to 80% of the beetles -- usually. >> and this warm winter this year, i've seen less than 10% of the population die. >> protecting these trees, not only say its habitat. but keeps it alive. >> it's nice to see these trees. a lot of these trees are old grove hemlocks. so they were here 300 plus years. it's part of history. >> besides their historical significance, hem hemlocks provide critical shade in trout streams. if you're waiting for someone to get home from work, let's check in on our
