This is a liberal store that caters to wacky health nuts, and no doubt this woman was doing what she did as a form of protest that the news has been covering lately. However, this is also a public place of business and certain rules still apply: no shirt, no service, for example. I am uncertain if she was informed that she had to cover up or leave, I did not ask around, but decency toward others should have informed her that it would have been better to cover her breast and the baby with a light blanket at least. After all, not everyone wants to see a naked breast, no matter how natural breastfeeding is.
If you're in a place that requires a shirt, you should definitely be covering the parts of you that would be covered by a shirt. I don't think that's unreasonable to ask.

It seemed plausible they would work that way!!
Well...if the pipes are frozen then you're right, but if the pipes are frozen then you've got a lot more to worry about than just not being able to breastfeed because you'd be dead.

I think expecting women to feed their kids under a curtain or out of sight (especially in the bathroom) is honestly kind of barbaric.
It is not barbaric at all. Like one mother at work, a fellow employee, stated that she was once at a store and needed to feed her son. She politely asked to use a dressing room, because she understood that not everyone wants to be subjected to a particular display.
And this woman at my workplace merely walked into the store with the ugly kid attached to her teat. It wasn't as though he was screaming to be fed halfway through their shopping expedition.

Well, I wouldn't be.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As long as your shirt is covering you I don't see any reason why you should have to nurse your baby in a dressing room.

Oh fuck that. You shouldn't have to cover it up. In fact I'd prefer you let them both show. =)

I agree, but I'm guessing she maybe didn't have any proper way of covering the feeding at the time.

You do realize that a woman can nurse her baby without showing any skin and without using anything but what she's already wearing to cover herself. I never used a blanket or anything. It makes the baby get too hot.

But this girl is skinny and wears tight clothes. Maybe she couldn't fit the baby beneath her shirt. xD
