[quote=Anonymous] PP here. BTW, I am a breastfeeding mom who has fed her babies on public buses, at museums, in federal and municipal office buildings, at restaurants, university sites, Starbucks, multiple libraries, and once at the post office. I've never once been called out for my actions in any of these settings. My advice to those who want a similarly trouble-free experience is to: find a good spot and position, ALWAYS use a cover-up, be aware of your rights regarding breastfeeding, and know how to handle people in a way that diffuses potential confrontations. Most people aren't even aware that I am feeding a baby; although that's probably because I'm typically on my iPhone or sitting with a girlfriend chatting while the baby is at the breast. In a situation like yours, I very well may have asked the security people where a good spot might be if I couldn't locate one on my own. That way they would have been brought into the process productively. You just handled it poorly, OP, at every turn. I hear that you're indignant, but I wish you'd separate out your right to feed your baby from the behavior you exhibited in that situation. As a PP mentioned, you helped to escalate the situation.[/quote]
