[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you got off on the wrong foot by sitting on the floor of a busy corridor and then being confrontational and defiant when asked to not sit on the floor. I imagine if someone had stepped on your foot or tripped and fallen on you - you'd have also speed dialed your lawyer to sue. That building is hectic and full of people trying to get to different places so I agree that sitting on the floor in the middle of the busy hallway in order to exercise your rights was a poor choice. Do I think you should be able to breastfeed - absolutely. Does breastfeeding mean you don't have to obey rules or meet expectations - no. It sounds like the security officers and you jointly escalated the situation. It is likely that many women have breastfed in that building in an unassuming way without two female security going off on them. [/quote] I agree with this and 7:28. I gie OP kudos for BFing in a way that, initially, wasn't apparent to the security guard but sitting in the hallway of a busy corridor threatens the safety of others. It's never okay to do that and to tell a security guard that you're going to waiting until your DC is finished before moving is just unacceptable. The security guards were clearly wrong about the law but in this case the greater wrong was done by OP. Oh - and I'm one of those liberal moms who's participated in a number of nurse-ins. [/quote]
