Breastfeeding Discrimination - Mom stands her ground

[TinkerTot55]

3. This is not an issue of breastfeeding discrimination.

This is an example of people who love to push buttons and get attention.

The issue is not that breastfeeding is banned or frowned upon. The facility where the husband and wife chose to be confrontational and sensational has a PRO-breastfeeding policy, and provides comfortable facilities for moms and infants. The facility asked her to COVER UP while breastfeeding. I noticed in the clips I viewed that the mom is keeping her back to the camera, and the husband is not showing how the child is attached, and how much breast is exposed or not. There is NOTHING wrong with asking moms to put a lightweight, opaque cloth over their shoulders and across the feeding infant; it can be done very discreetly. If done in that manner, there's no reason for anyone to object. Most people won't even know that you are breastfeeding, if done that way. Having a light cloth or blanket over the nursing infant also blocks all the outside stimuli and helps the baby relax and nurse.

I wish that every mom could successfully nurse their children, as I did with my three children; but I don't want to see your breasts, no matter how natural it is. It's not necessary, period. You can nurse ANYWHERE...it's your RIGHT as a mother to do so.....but you don't have to be an exhibitionist. And that's what this incident is about.
